studying canberra

race rioting

apparently, during school holidays there's an under age night on at academy in civic. there's two rival "gangs" - the lebanese and the italians.

this is canberra. these are high school kids i'm talking about - building a semi-"race riot" situation and using it as an excuse for an the outlet of teenage testosterone...

no excuses. this country has gone way too far...

summer gadget

performed at an event - gadget - on wednesday 7th december, at the Australian Choreographc Centre. A night of experimental sound and vision...

the line-up included:
alex thorogood + warwick lynch + josh wodak (visuals)
somaya langley + dpwolf (visuals)
steve law
kimmo vennonen
(gadget-7 group improvisation)

mc'd by julian day, the night had a really great feel to it, good to engage in discussion about the performance just witnessed in between each of them.

lots of good feedback about the gig, which should be the start of a series of these events to continue in 2006.

Dave Wolf (aka. dpwolf) and I put together a performance about cities, focussing on images of sites of destruction (video of the Griffin Centre in Canberra - in a semi-demolished state) and sounds of crowded resonant city spaces. Used some new accellerometers to control parameters of the sound. Somehow we managed to pull the piece together, working in a hot environment with loads of bugs and flying insects - not particularly conducive to laptop work.
