Interference
is a series audio / visual of works that focussed on the manipulation of
time, rather than that of the visible or audible surface. The emphasis was
to utilise the peculiarities of digital video, in particular the glitch,
the strobe and the minute rupturing of time.
Hypertension_01 contains ideas of reimagined urbanism, sublimated geography
and dérive. It explores the visual qualities of space, colour,
form and line evolved over time. The resulting audio is a biproduct
of the visual processes.
Seismic
documents a protest by the Falun Dafa in Melbourne, Australia.
Achieved solely by the manipulation of time, the piece embodies the
protesters' simple gestures, amplifying their possible ramifications.
For
Composition_RGB_2 & 3, segments of video feedback were
meticulously spliced and reedited, in order to investigate the
value of image when comprehending sound and visa versa. These works
utilise the stereo qualities of video playback, particularly the partial
beatings that occur when spatialised sounds interact.
In
Landslide skyscrapers and refracted light lose their stabilty
and become liquid, reminiscent of the Situationist phrase, "Beneath
the concrete lies the ocean".
The
Bedroom a flourescent light flickers in sync to a soundtrack of
construction sounds. External forces transgress domestic boundaries.
Anaesthesia
addresses the Pacific Solution,
implemented by the Howard Liberal government in Australia, 2001.
Contained within the space of a television monitor, voices from
another dimension struggle with an alarming tone, evoking a sense
of dislocation and desperation.
Using documentary footage from the the notorious Woomera
detention centre in South Australia, it carries ideas of media subjectivity,
physical and mental borders, and the political climate of intolerance
and xenophobia.
