Sony vs Stevens case came thru yesterday ruling that mod chipping of Sony PlayStations is legal.
Hopefully this effects the exemption of TPM's for Australian cultural institutions (as a result of the FTA) in a positive way. and the association of tools with alternatively licenced materials (such as media licenced under creative commons)

fringes of electro
this year's electrofringe didn't seem to have the same intensive vibe as other years - some speculate this has ties to the close of bloody fist in newcastle. thus said, this year i spoke on a few panels and presented a few collaborative performances with a number of different people
somehow the 3am jam at the collaborador space - post inappropriate discussion at the leagues club - had me fired up to actually push my feelings through my sound. such a good channel for providing a realm to explore and diffuse my frustrations while hoping the message gets through to others.
haven't ever jammed with govinda before - such a beautiful play - wonder why we've never managed to do this in the past...

this is about...
solo performance at the Amnesty International Freedom Festival 2005 - at Tilley's on the 25th September. aired a new work i've been developing - loosely titled "this is about..." and all the things that standing up infront of a microphone, being given the opportunity to have a voice, represents.
at times life seems so serendipitous - this gig with ursula rucker, having listened so frequently to her silver or lead album during the end, 2004. having acts of infidelity by previous partners push our paths to cross and into a parallel stream of sonic production and empowerment.
this is about, is about so many things - but mainly about respect, openness and honesty.

war and peace bot
there's been a little discussion of political issues at the Create_Space lab - which prompted today's project.
the DIRT (Dynamic Interactive Response Time) workshop today was based around the creation of DrawBots (drawing robots). Created a jittery, hyperactive machine-gun looking bot with a couple of paper cranes attached - commentary on military forces "do good" missions... Image to be uploaded.
Beginning concept development (and implementation) on a "backpack/parcel" interactive new media work, to do with the current social attitude to backpack wearers and suspect packages - post London bombings and Canberra situation with white sand/cultural institutions earlier in the year.
More info as the project progresses...

new networks, new spaces
Almost one week down at the ANAT New Media lab - Create_Space - at the Melbourne Meat Market venue.
Meeting, collaborating and socialising with a range of Australian New Media artists - Tim Plaisted, Matt Gardiner, Troy Innocent, Alex Gillespie, Sarah Neville, Trish Adams, Tim Barrass, Andrew Burrell, Shiralee Saul plus facilitators Adam Nash, Jonah Brucker-Cohen and Katherine Moriwaki.
Much discussion of history/memory, residue, layering of memory over time in relation to specific locations, associations between particular spaces and feelings.
The first collaboration project with Tim Plaisted and Trish Adams resulted in a number of concepts for projects around the themes of: waiting spaces, lost spaces, inaccessible spaces, display/stage spaces, dead spaces.
Fantastic to collaborate with a new group of people who are highly skilled at what they do. Also really interesting to see/hear how other's deal with space, and interesting to see my own perception and association to public and social spaces.
