Axis Arkestra – The Commandant Zabra Effect by Auto Italia

With an aim to shift the axis of perception; the growing Arkestra directs a shift in social positioning and the development of hidden information materials. With the meeting of sonic and visual as primary renders Axis Arkestra uses the tools of Improvisation and play to reveal alternative forms of knowledge production and communication lines with our Ancestral sources.
