survival

my friend jodi rose's face currently appears homepage of the Australia Council for the Arts website : career pathways in media arts

this is hilarious, for a number of reasons only some of which being, that i paid for the postage of her last application and have bought groceries a couple of times

luckily the favours get returned - i've been able to camp out at her place during the transport strikes in berlin, she makes dinner for us, and she found me an abandoned bike in the park

is this just surviving... or having a career?

outing sounds

i found out this week I've just recieved a Sounding Out grant from the Australia Council for the Arts to assist with development of some alternative HCIs (in this case, accellerometers). This is part of my new solo live performance endeavour - ID-i/o.

I'm using one of Angelo Fraietta's microcontrollers and have been working with Nick Engel from Lake Technology to assist in building some modifications to the board.

the first prototype was performed with at Gadget (at the Australian Choreographic Centre), as part of a collaboration with dpwolf.
