On September 10th, 2022, AMOC* offered a reactive musical performance to celebrate the long-anticipated opening of Jenny Holzer’s DEMENTED WORDS at Hauser & Wirth in New York City. They participated in the exhibition opening under the halo of Holzer’s WTF (2022)—a swinging electronic sign juxtaposing tweets posted by Donald Trump and by Q, leader of the QAnon conspiracy.
