blindly
perhaps all the digital glitter will blind you, and you'll stumble into the defence recruiting center
fabolous plays midtown
only in nyc...
"...the cops have closed the party down tonite... so we need to get thru to tha venue, it backs onto here, so ya know, if we could come thru your foyer and go in tha back door. he's a rapper, and the party needs to happen..."
all you young black men and women, wearing all-black with gold bling. black caps on sideways or backward, in impossibly high stilettos
black sunglasses that blind, even though it's half-past-twelve... mobile phones pressed to ears talkin' shit to who knows who...
attitude and perfume oozing out of pores, almost suffocating everyone in close vacinity.

dorbot in melbs
the suspect backpack at melbourne's dorkbot
4pm, Sunday 27th May, 2007
Level 1, 124a Johnston St Fitzroy 3065 (just east of Brunswick St).
The Suspect Backpack is a wearable mobile sonic media art experience,
providing a user with the opportunity for first-person interaction and
engagement. The work is intended for use in public space, and at the same
time as it creates a personalised intimate environment for the user, members
of the public become the unwitting audience. This [prototype] work utilises
proximity sensors, a laptop, a pair of speakers and a set of headphones to
navigate two spoken-word sound environments.

Somaya Langley is a sound and new media artist who has presented works in

a member of the sensor-trio HyperSense Complex, is one part of the duo
MetaSense and performs live electroacoustics under the pseudonym of ID-i/o.
For the past decade she hosted a radio program, SubSequence, on Community
Radio 2XX FM. In recent years she has been the National Library of
Australia's Digital Preservation Officer and in 2006 was the recipient of the Inaugural Friends of the National Library of Australia Travelling Fellowship to
research models for archiving complex born-digital objects, in California
USA.

supervision
"With cutting-edge digital animation, video and electronic music, SUPER VISION makes the invisible “datasphere” visible, using the language and technologies of surveillance itself." (http://hop.dartmouth.edu/supervision/)
While researching visas for overseas travel, I could vividly recall moments from the Builder's Association and d-Box's interactive [new media] performance work, Supervision. I witnessed the performance at ISEA 2006 and it was truly engaging.
The only thing I would have wanted, was to strip away the theatre venue stage/audience paradigm - and immerse the audience right within the unfolding story... But then, we've got real life for that.
