I like to travel. I will be in Banff next year. I would like to make a series of DVDs at Banff. I won't talk about where they will end up... just not in the media art world.
My Roman girlfriend translates bits from Italian into English. It is sublime.
Search for beauty without features, something deeper than any signs.
Come dress yourself in love, let the journey begin.
Occasionally I still do a bit of stuff with people I met there seven years ago. It's like looking up an old lover IRL. But on the whole I've personally exhausted that avenue of research, so it no longer draws me. I did write a novel as a kind of document of that era.
A lot of the images in my work are a kind of visual diary of places I've been, what I've seen, heard, smelt.
The few remaining truths are graffiti, suicide notes, shopping lists.
I create most of my own images. I steal about 2%. I use Photoshop but didn't learn it very deep. I am ultra lazy about learning software.
I am ashamed to be Australian in these times.
I was working as an art and tech researcher in '84. At that time there had been a small government program of assistance for artists for at least three or four years. I was working with Super 8 film then. And video in '85 and public radio in the early '80s.
I need to borrow a camera to take some pix of my studio, which is basically the kitchen table.
We have had government funding for new media since the early '80s.
