Manchester Penetrated (soon to reform as 'AnaLoG ZuNs...We')

Patrick/ Dr Sebastian Baxter (pronouns: We/Us) are the dual personality creators of queer transgressive avant-garde construct 'Manchester Penetrated'* that for five years has produced provocative urbanist art across a diverse array of mediums ( experimental film, photography, poetry, performance art, prose, scholarly research, cut-up collage, graffiti).

Our experiential, embodied, public-facing, intertextual, and Dada inspired chance procedure practice draws on the ecology and affective attributes of the stimulated body, everyday objects, and liminal space(s) in the city as unified sensual entities. We create art in and out of the material city with/for/facing spontaneous publics outside the academy, the gallery or other spaces of social privilege to celebrate sensory pleasure and the hidden magical intricacies of the built environment.
