No Blade of Grass
Annotation

The BCAA System is a multifunctional collective existing on the borderline between contemporary alternative music, art, and theory. Their projects move seemlessly between categories: they are an art group – a music label – an AV studio – a DJ crew – and anything else they can or must become.

Probably the most significant element of their work is cooperation. First of all, within the team itself, but they often realize their projects with guests and co-workers.

Their work flows freely between the online and IRL spaces, from gallery installations and digital music releases to written text. Thematically, the collective projects move in the space of speculation, fiction, and games. The motive behind their creation could be utopian thinking about possible better futures, where humans are one of many actors alongside other species, forces and entities, and where man is not only a driving and destructive force, but also an equal partner to all the living and non-living.

Formally (within the visual arts), the BCAA System most often creates videos accompanied by installations and computer, but sometimes also physical games. Its aesthetics is recognizably based on the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and computer games.

The team has formally existed since 2017 and has six members.
