Hothead presents: Music of the new world with Lauren Duffus & Shauwdii at EYE
Amsterdam collective Hothead presents new film works by London-based vocalist and composer Lauren Duffus and audio visual artist Shauwdii, asking how film can carry memory, history and emotion when sound takes the lead.
This event is part of Hothead’s program Music Of The New World, a four-day ADE Arts & Culture program that explores how sound can shape, influence and challenge other art forms. The evening centres on new work Lauren Duffus and Shauwdii, where music acts as score and context to their films.
EYE reserved a limited number of free tickets for ADE Pro and ADE Lab visitors. Please claim your ticket at the service desk at least 30 minutes before the start of the program.
Lauren Duffus (live)
Lauren Duffus is a London-based producer, vocalist and composer. Her cinematic, sample-based work on SoundCloud led to releases on Body Motion, AD93 and AMF Records. The 2022 single 'Habits' was featured in a British Vogue / Royal Opera House dance performance, and she has since performed at Fabric, Village Underground and MUTEK Argentina. Her latest EP Can’s Gone Warm, led by single N.U.M.T.E., explores themes of longing and nostalgia through a fractured club aesthetic.
At Eye she presents new film work she has created, directly connected to her musical practice. The film takes the central role, with her live performance functioning as a score that guides and reinforces it.
Shauwdii
Shauwdii is an audio visual artist & DJ from Hackney, London. She works with Destruction, attempting to feel what sounds are left once we disappear. She seeks to unearth the emptiness beneath emotion, confronting a confidence within the grotesque through heavy dub electronic soundscapes, industrial ambience and cyclical trap remixes in her live performances. Her work aims to make sense out of disaster with noise and memory. These ideas are also embedded in her film works, directing music videos for some of London’s most notable musical innovators including Taz & Meeks, Mark William Lewis, Zerosome and Jawnino.
At Eye she presents a new short film, a continuation of her earlier project thatonephonecall

Eye is sometimes called ‘the cinematic memory of the Netherlands’. And in all modesty, that title is no exaggeration.
On the North bank of the river IJ, you can find the film museum Eye. You can go to the movies and much more. Visit exhibitions about filmmakers and light and video artists, browse through the huge film collection and do a film quiz or pop down in the restaurant with breathtaking views over the IJ.

Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the ADE Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events.
Be aware though that there are over 1,200 events during ADE that you can enter with the Pro Pass wristband and that ADE cannot guarantee access. There is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for Pro Pass holders. This means for some of the more crowded events you have to arrive early. Once capacity is reached, we will go over in a full-for-now policy. The festival event organizer will decide when and if more people are allowed to go in.
The ADE Pro Pass is the perfect fit if you are planning on enjoying the combination of day and night events. If you want guaranteed access to a particular festival event, we advise you to get a single festival ticket instead.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.
