Projection at the Bakery
Mon, 08 Dec 2008 23:40:43 +0000
There will be a one-night projection at the Bakery Gallery in Northbridge on the 19 December. We plan to project various Perth sites and include the viewer into the work via real-time projection. This is our attempt to construct a reflexive space in which the audience can see themselves within the projection. By seeing [...]

ACUADS – Figures mag
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 09:29:54 +0000
We (Stuart and I) presented a paper at ACUADS (Australian Council of University Art & Design Schools) entitled “Figures: the social in the visual – a context centred graphical news magazine”. In particular we showed our first tangible output, a book of postcards. We also presented documentation at Spectrum Project Space, where we set [...]

the situationists, locative media and Figures: The social in the visual
Mon, 15 Sep 2008 00:46:40 +0000
Locative media has a strong relationship with the situationist’s derive. Michele Chang (2003), discussing her collaborative locative media project ‘Asphalt Games’ stated that they were “inspired by the Situationist techniques of derive and detournement”. This has much potential for extending physical/virtual sites and for incorporating into “Figures: the social in the visual”. To have [...]

Locative media has much similarities with the situationists. Locative media is a technological system related to urban space where the particpant/user can move in physical space while negotiating with the media. Located art therefore, is the art of media and wireless systems, as is the case with the UK’s locative media group, Blast Theory. They [...]

Figures: the social in the visual

I am currently collaborating on an online/offline news magazine Figures: the social in the visual with a colleague, Stuart Medley and research assistant Uriah Matthews. Our proposal seeks to bridge the gap between art and design in visual arts and graphic design. Our research examines the potential for visuality to reconfigure news information. This collaboration [...]

webcam ideas for a future exhibition in Guangzhou
Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:14:50 +0000
We are attempting to organise an exhibition between Guangzhou and Perth utilising webcam and projection. This would allow issues of globalisation, incommensurability and digital technologies, Internet and webcam, to be realised in a different way than I have done previously. It would also concur with the point Lev Manovich asserts in The Language of [...]

Ideas generated from “Between Cultures”
Tue, 05 Feb 2008 02:31:15 +0000
The exhibition “Between Cultures” has provided many possibilities for creative works linking Perth and Guangzhou. Specifically investigating the stark differences of the use of public space. Building on the work of Physical/Virtual and webcams, we are investigating how we could have live webcam images projected in Perth and live Perth images projected in Guangzhou. [...]
