Bubble Noir

Megan Beckwith & Ben White

Performance

Proof

Wesley Dowling

​

Projection

Proof considers the malleability of the electronic image by creating images of viewers that emerge out of clouds of random data noise. The work explores how our experience of the world is increasingly based on potentially manipulated information via images, through screens and virtual media rather than tangible reality.

The Pandemic had other ideas for me

​

Susan Maco Forrester

Projection

We could not support each other in this strange space. All Peoples dying from this pandemic, once in one hundred years. Black people murdered, in this pandemic, not once in one hundred years. I will wear your black face again... But you won’t like it.

Surfacing

Isobel Knowles & Van Sowerwine

Projection

A site responsive animation exploring resurfacing: from lockdown, from being caught in a rip and the re-emergence of a long lost character. She will swim across the textures of Collingwood Yards, and play amongst the paving stones.

Susannah Langley, Ioannis Sidiropoulos, Warren Armstrong and Bridget Chappell 

Online Performance

Using bespoke software, performer Ioannis Sidiropoulos’ movements will be tracked, in real time as he performs in Athens, Greece. These movements will then be mapped into a virtual reality environment where visual artist Susannah Langley - in Melbourne - will draw in response to them.

Move Me

Yandell Walton

Projection

Move Me is a site-specific installation for Collingwood Yards. Yandell Walton uses photogrammetry technology to create 3D models of nature and combines these with human movement through Motion Capture. Creating cross-species forms, Yandell attempts to imbed humanity with the environment to highlight a reconnection to nature.

​

This work was created with support from the Australian Network for Art and Technology IDEATE program.

Blossom Spheres

Alison Bennett

Projection / Online

Blossom Spheres was created in the midst of the Melbourne lockdown. Allowed an hour out each day, within a five kilometre bubble of home, I took to walking around the block to admire the springtime blossom on the street trees. Rendered as point clouds, foliage dissolved as vibrant matter.

CURRENT

Jenna Eriksen with Tabitha Dombroski & Björn Åslund

Projection

CURRENT is an experimental film that aims to challenge gender division and dismantle heteronormative assumptions. Threading meaning through expressionist dance and landscape mapping, the work is a conceptual interpretation of a queer symbiotic relationship unfolding.

639 damn he's fine, heart sinking deeply one more time

Jonathan Homsey

Performance

639 damn he's fine, heart sinking deeply one more time (639) is a performance work exploring the blurred lines between virtual love and physical pain. Part autobiographical and part fantastical, this dystopian 15 minute dance performance projects Jonathan Homsey's body in real time as he executes a dynamic and percussive stream of consciousness.

Untitled (Journey)

Drew Pettifer

Projection 

Untitled (Journey) is a single channel HD video work that documents the execution by marooning of two young men in 1727 for the crime of sodomy – the first European victims of homophobia on Australian soil. The work recreates in real time the final journey where the young men were left to die.

Knees and Shrubs

Melinda Smith

Online Performance

Melinda moves with her camera. This short film is an exploration of body and places. Exploring the physicality of the environment, creating and claiming her space.

What is the meaning of being here? There is beauty in the way she interacts with everyday nature.

Acts of Holding Dance

Wendy Yu

Projection

Acts of Holding Dance is a series of large-scale projection installations featuring dance and post-process design. They may be vertical or horizontal in orientation but in this case, the work is presented as a large-scale vertical iteration. Acts of Holding Dance was instigated when the artist identified a lack of dance work within the local projection art scene.

Change in Condition

Jane Crappsley

Projection

Change in Condition explores the physical and environmental transformation of the site of Collingwood Yards, during its last stages of construction. Derived from drawings responding to sound recordings captured on site, surface rubbings and in-situ frame by frame hand-drawn animation, the work combines interpretations of the physical and environmental data with motion, to reflect on its process of change.

A strange space indeed (everything is for sale)

KP Finley

​

Projection

Architecture’s preoccupation with ‘normality’ has left little room for queer space to come to the fore. These works in this exhibition aim to highlight how perceived dominant heterosexual spaces can be altered to queer space.

Through a LiDAR sparsely

​

Eric Jong

Projection

This work is an inquiry into the digital computational gaze as it examines real physical space. It utilises lo-fi systems for photogrammetry, light detection and ranging (LiDAR – Laser scanning or surveying) from site specific recordings at Collingwood Yards to generate a semi-translucent and layered digital terrain. Eric Jong’s work explores algorithmic driven spatial technology and mediated perception at the limits of access and format. 

I Am Not This Body

Leisa Prowd & Tsuki

Look at me and see.

I have invited you.

Look Look at me and see.

Stop, pause, gaze.

As Her Reflection Dances For You

Scotty So

Projection / Performance

Inspired by the Qing Dynasty feminist literature, Flowers in the Mirror (鏡花緣), this hologram projection work explores the scape and body of the virtual space via holographic advertising technology. The Chinese proverb, 鏡花水月 (mirror flower, water moon), means something that can be seen but not touched, as the reflections of flowers in the mirror and the moon reflected on the surface of water are something that is beautiful yet unattainable.

​

Scotty is represented by MARS Gallery in Australia.
