Glitch Semaphore is a sculpture-as-performance for eight or more performers which proposes magical interstellar transmissions via the metaphysical properties of materials. The performance objects include a copper, brass, and embroidery ‘landing marker’, painted copper conducting rods, vials of ground magnetic minerals, painted discs, mineral spheres, live drawing, tuning forks, gestures, and a spoken script.
