"Silence + Brutality is a collaborative project combining the image work of Charles Acethorpe with the music of Ex.Order. It was developed between February 1997 and June 1999. The culmination of this project will be an exhibition of the painted works and performance of the music which will take place in Toronto, Canada on September 4, 1999. In conjunction, both the painted and digital images, as well as a portion of the soundtrack will be presented in a virtual gallery [online]."
