OFF.Manual on March 13, 2026 at Co-Prosperity Sphere, Chicago features Kikù Hibino performing experimental DJ sets.

On March 13, 2026, Kikù Hibino will present "OFF.Manual" at Co-Prosperity Sphere in Chicago, a hub for avant-garde art and experimental music. This 30-minute sound performance delves into the realms of noise and chaos, reflecting Gregory Bae’s exploration of “leftover margins” and “disassociated symbols.” Hibino's work challenges conventional structures and norms, highlighting the beauty in what is often overlooked or discarded in rigid systems. Utilizing five distinct sound sources, including guitar and bass amplifiers, "OFF.Manual" navigates through four transformative states: Infinity, and/or, Excess, and Ghost. Each phase invites the audience to engage with layers of sound that defy clarity and embrace disorder, ultimately creating a new structure ripe for deconstruction. Chicago's electronic music scene, known for its rich history in experimentation, provides a fitting backdrop for this performance. Attendees can expect to be drawn into a thought-provoking exploration of sound that resonates with the city’s underground ethos.
