Woven All of Dream and Error
Album review
September 2025
Plenty of music moves me and impresses me and ends up unplayed. This is different. Woven All of Dream and Error creates a tangibly human space and offers me a tactile blessings: sound that I do not get tired of being inside and around. In many ways, this music is a dialectical triumph because it is so sweet and mortal and yet suppresses many of its human traces.
Woven All of Dream and Error was initially published in S/FJ, Sasha Frere-Jones’ newsletter, in September 2025. It was a critical response to the album Woven All of Dream and Error by Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty.

Monograph book
September 2024
“At least for now, however, the strangeness of the tools creates a situation where there is a certain poetry-of-necessity in even attempting a basic description of what they do. Many more attempts, many more accidents, and many more errors will occur before our language can catch up to our machines.”
This 84-page book was published to accompany the exhibition Woven All of Dream and Error in September 2024. The full text of the book is given here.

Essay
September 2022
Both the moon and Minute/Year are part of other rhythms outside of themselves. The moon orchestrates tides, magnetic fields, and menstrual cycles; it visits many nights around the globe every twenty-four hours. Minute/Year listens to the sounds of nature, to urban environments, to indecipherable human language and humming machines.
An essay-poem by Gabriela Gordillo, on the threads of connection between the dutaional installation Minute/Year and her father’s practice of taking photographs of the moon. Originally published by Coven Berlin.

It is up to every single minute whether it includes the banal or the extraordinary, before it too becomes sculpted by the temporal-spatial processing of Minute/Year—creating another layer, repeating another iteration, taking today into tomorrow.
Seize the Minute was initially presented as an accompanying text for the event Minute/Year: Four Years, presented at grüntaler9 in Berlin in November 2019. The event presented the archive of four years’ worth of data from the durational installation Minute/Year, by Kata Kovács and Tom O’Doherty.
