Merkaba Macabre

Merkaba Macabre is a multimedia project by Steven McInerney, combining photochemical synthesis, computational proeceses, and immersive sound to create expanded forms of cinema, live performances, and installations. McInerney's work draws upon dichotomous energies, meditating between the sacred and profane. Live performances utilise multi-channel and real-time feedback systems, employing a structuralist methodology that values error and reappropriation. From here, speculative narratives take form, often blurring the lines between science and fiction. In 2014 they established Psyché Tropes, an interdisciplinary platform for media archaeological releases, and events, while hosting a monthly radio programme on Resonance 104.4 FM.
