For Portico Online, Tanad Aaron and Mark Swords invited artists and musicians to interact and respond to the exhibition space to create an online series of engagements.
One such artist was Rising Damp, the solo project of Dublin based visual artist and musician, Michelle Doyle.
Originally a bass player in punk band Sissy, Doyle expanded her practice to include drum machines, synths and spoken word. Rising Damp is a project encompassing EBM (electronic body music), post punk and experimental noise. Michelle collaborates frequently with art/techno collective, Repeater and has been featured in their publications and tapes in 2018 and 2019. Her music has been featured in The Quietus and The Guardian.
