An art installation comprised of moving images, sculpture, and sound. 

In the installation space, there were multiple mirror components and this created a feeling that there were a lot of things going on. The wall size colour video projection had a multiple purpose. It not only displayed images, but also was the main source of light for the whole work. Some parts of the multiple coloured images projected from the projector were redirected through suspended mirrors to specific points where objects, such as a shower of water in one part of the room and calm of acrylic rods in another part, where partially disrupting the resultant secondary images all over the walls. Dry leaves where placed like a river interspersed with light bulbs.

The sound components consisted of two different sounds, one resulting from the destruction of dry leaves that played at erratic intervals, so that just when you had almost forgotten about them they would appear again, and the other was from the sound of falling water from the shower.

This project is an extension of an existing project “Forest of Invisible Waves”.

The purpose is to do this project in the context of the particular locality it is installed in ie. using a different source of images and sound. Sculpture, light and leaves (locally found) will create totally unique new version of  “Forest Of Invisible Waves”.

 

I also will do one off vision mix performance that using my new and old moving images. These footages are from different countries, all different sceneries, straight shots and abstract shots and some using effects or filters that will live mixing. 

 

Another project is the extending of my work “Interaction of Sound Waves’ held in the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide for the Fringe festival in 2004. Viewers could participate by using water pistols to alter the watercolour images of sound waves. The idea is to convey the idea that you don’t need to put gunpowder in a pistol to destroy something, just water and we can create art together.

 

These two projects are intentionally created to grow, change and develop as they are installed in different localities. While the structure itself remains the same, as does the concept, the sources are always different: Moving images sounds and materials, like nature, can be simply described, but the reality is often very different and more complex.
