About Me

BFA UofTAS. Woot!
Multimedia artist in the old fashioned sense: I use a variety of mediums of which information is by far my favourite, but not my only.
I have being performing as a VJ since 1999, originally using some japanese software but since 2005 using my own 3D video manipulation system now operated by Wiimote.
In 2006 I exhibited a video documenting the location of dozens of security cameras in the melbourne CBD.
Previous couple of years I had visited Electrofringe to teach using GEM in PD for realtime programing and performance of video.
Recently I have been focusing on being a Dad, but still had time to indulge a bit of VJing at Loop, documenting graffiti, building a RepRap and developing my linux network and sys admin skills

apple pwns locations?

Apple have an old patent from Xerox (the source of all apples good ideas it seems)

the original patent seems to be a written after reading this
paper from somewhere-outside-the-USA but re-written to use URL instead of LDAP and X500

the author of "Composable Ad-hoc Mobile Services for Universal Interaction (1997)" claims the original was also written to avoid mentioning the radio part of his paper

(read the original patent; the claims make no mention of GPS or radio, infact seem to refer quite specifically to using an object at the location to identify the location)

in the recent re-issue apple has added in the idea that a beacon can be used now - totaly outside the original claims!

@blindside 'an accumulation of energy'

The documentation doesn't do it justice ofcourse.

This is a wonderfull meditative piece/installation. Two rooms are consumed by 4 video projections and 4 channels of audio (each stereo).  Each item is on its own loop of 1 to x (x greater than 13) minutes, thus the entire experience is never in sync, never repeats (well, not in the 3 days this will be open).

The doorway between rooms provides a distance to the 'other' space, whilst not disconnecting you due the spillage of av (the v is also coming through muted frosted windows between the rooms). 

The almost perfect lack of content has freed the experiencers to stand by and experience; the thing usually lacking at openings.  There is no gossip, no critique, merely being present and moving occasionally to gain a new perspective.

Av art has reached the (dubious) pinnacle of the plain colourfield.  Showing the beauty in the pixelisation of a simple projection over distance using (the soon old fasioned) lcd, devoid of content.

The audio fills the space and is the same for all viewers, varied slightly by location within the gallery. Again, an artiftact of the recent present, soon to be considered old hat as we all hear the world through our headphones.

Simultaneously a celebration of the mediums of av and a wake for the communal av

Its a terrible fact that 'theatre' isthe main sink for arts funding because this productioncould have been fantastic, but suffers from the things intrinsic with thatre;
Scripted
Rehearsed

Needed to be on rrealtime and live, more of a skilled data jam, data is moving faster than scripts, rehersal and directors (plus all the theatre stage people, lights and smoke)
