DURATIONS: Josh Citarella & Yancey Strickler present The Dark Forest Era
About This Event
At Public Records, Josh Citarella and Yancey Strickler present The Dark Forest Era, a paired electronic program that brings Citarella’s club-informed, research-driven practice into dialogue with Strickler’s systems-oriented approach. Both artists favor structure, duration and tone over spectacle, treating the room as an instrument and shaping listening through measured transitions.
About The Dark Forest Era
The Dark Forest Era arrives at Public Records as a live electronic event framed like a report from the networked present. Featured performers Josh Citarella and Yancey Strickler work in the space where club sound, media research, and tech culture overlap, using the room as both venue and listening lab. In New York, where art and startups share the same vocabulary, the project reads as a small field study of attention and belief. One clear takeaway is its refusal to separate critique from the conditions of nightlife.
