About Reactor
Reactor is sometimes Rector, aRector or even Ivan’s Dogs with an accént.
To be really reductive and slightly clumsy here, we ring up our mates and say let's get together on Saturday night and have some ‘fun’. No one has any fun, and the next day we get together with another bunch of mates and have some ‘right fun’ about the fact no one had any fun.
Happy Martinmas! For 2025. With another year’s celebrations complete, our annual update is live and the application portal for next year’s Interviews is now open. Why not apply to JOIN RECTOR today? (we’re serious, really why not?)

If taking part in a staged death, we cannot guarantee that this is staged.

I held hands with strangers, gave a grown man a piggyback and danced and howled with wonderful irregularity to the jingling of tambourines.

2009–2010
A peculiar type of rebellion in which we don’t fight the system, but we get too involved, we play along too vigorously, we ’really believe in it’.

Already, we were learning and appreciating unrecognized ways of working with each other from just this one small task, the weekend itself had not even begun.
Munkanon
2008–2010
The real everyday action of Munkanon carries on around me; its uncanny logic, its games and tasks, its dynamic of irrectitude.

A project that puts its participants in a goldfish bowl.
Ivan’s Dogs, We Provide The Smiles

Pretty soon we were suspecting the general public and each other of being part of a sinister plan.

There’s that familiar Reactor combination of demand for compliance and playfulness, a bit like a friendly Labrador puppy that comes running up to you with a little stick of dynamite in its mouth.
Reactor

Creation before the destruction in this vast factory building which is soon to be reduced to rubble.
