Hardcore Software x Hypha Weekender
Join Hypha for the first Hypha Weekender, a mini-festival of culture.
With show openings, extended exhibition hours & special events, make a weekend of it and discover what Hypha Studios & Hypha Curates are doing for culture across the capital.
Hardcore Software x Hypha Weekender: Body In Space
HARDCORE SOFTWARE presents an evening of screenings and readings as a part of Hypha Weekender.
This evening gathers a collection of independent works by the artists of Hardcore Software alongside selected contributions from external artists.
From ambient recordings to visual research outputs. From brain farts to beautiful ensembles of words.
Across disciplines and media, the works share an interest in space, bodies, and perception. Physical, mental, and digital environments are treated as sites to be sensed, occupied, and questioned.
This will be an open space where visitors and contributing artists can converse on the works and ideas presented.
Date & Time: Friday 5th June, 6:30-8:30pm
Address: Hypha x Eastern City Studios, 130 Fenchurch Street, EC3M 5LY
Hardcore Software x Hypha Weekender: Reading Room
HARDCORE SOFTWARE presents a zine launch and reading room with selected panellists, as part of Hypha Weekender.
The Reading Room is a collection of self-published works by the artists of Hardcore Software, showcasing independent projects developed beyond the collective’s practice. It will also display the launch of the exhibition’s zine, a catalogue of works and behind-the-scene processes that created them.
These works sit alongside submissions from an open call, inviting emerging artists to share their books, images, zines, and everything in betweens. Part archive, part library, part dumping ground, the Reading Room offers a glimpse into the wider network of practices, obsessions, and experiments that surround the collective.
This is a free event as we wish to platform emerging artists, we welcome any donations you are able to make.
Date & time: 7th June, 11am-3pm.
Address: Hypha x Eastern City Studios, 130 Fenchurch Street, EC3M 5LY
Hardcore Software Presents: Sonic Performances
HARDCORE SOFTWARE presents an experimental night of live music and soundscape performances. Artists: Sweepy, TBA.
Sweepy
Sweepy creates music with tape machines, ambient textures, and repeating structures that slowly shift and unravel. Rooted in minimalism but drawn to entropy, their work treats the tape itself as part of the composition. A deliberate choice to let sound behave on its own terms.
further TBA
Date & time: 20th June, 6-9pm.
Address: Hypha x Eastern City Studios, 130 Fenchurch Street, EC3M 5LY
Hardcore Software Presents: Encoded Leather Workshop
HARDCORE SOFTWARE presents a workshop where participants learn how to make their own NFC-encoded leather charms.
Guided by leatherworker and artist Rosabella Reeves, participants will learn the fundamentals of leatherworking while creating a custom leather charm.
Co-hosted by artist Amber Prust, the second half of the workshop explores the connection between physical objects and digital space. Participants will embed an NFC chip within their charm and be guided on encoding the device themselves, transforming the object into a digital portal that can link to an online destination of their choosing.
Date & time: 21st June, 2-5pm.
Address: Hypha x Eastern City Studios, 130 Fenchurch Street, EC3M 5LY
Materials will be provided for you.
