[...] so if you know someone who is doing something along those lines, drop Marcus a line at his blog. You should also read the rest of his posts. They are very [...]

there could be something interesting to explore in the remote indigenous community film/radio production context… amazing work comes out of an absolutely unique setting – also huge emerging youth film movement is a fascinating feild, esp when the people making films are not literate (other than visually)… anyways just a thought xx

hi marcus,
i emailed you through facebook sometime ago (just after NQA) but i never got a reply, i guess you get many…
i reckon you should contact Rob Curgenven (you can google him), he’s an interesting sound artist who lives kind of in Darwin/Katherine & Milan. he’s done many interesting projects here in Australia and overseas (Berlin especially) but seems to get more gigs o/s. a very good friend and a fabulous artist in my opinion!
have a look at my blog too, you’ll see that i (like many in Darwin) feel we are overlooked in our own country (down south anyway – we still travel a lot to regional centres) and find ourselves in Asia doing projects, because of our location, and more people seem interested! i also am interested in online projects o/s and with fellow artists.

good luck with culture shock.
cheers, hayley

Hiya Marcus. Just tried to post in some detail, but somehow it got wiped. So here is the gist of it, without the detail: recommend you consider talking to *Emile Zile*, currently based in Amsterdam. Email me if you want more detail on him, I don’t trust this newfangled technology.

If you haven’t already (and Marcus I may be revealing my ignorance of the first series here!), recommend you consider talking to Emile Zile. Multimedia whiz from Melbourne, now living in Amsterdam, very interested and talented artist, with a kinda craft/situationist approach but a strong affinity with all things netty and webby and generally technical.

Might be worth exploring some of the International events where online artists converge – ISEA, would be a good one – and will be happening in July in Singapore. When I was at ISEA2004 in the middle of the Baltic Sea, I ran into about half a dozen digital artist friends from Australia that I had not physically seen for years!!! Same with N5M festival in Amsterdam – where I believe we met

“to meet musicians headlining major tours and festivals in Europe and America while rarely receiving Australian radio airplay”

So I take it you’ve already included Curse ov Dialect? They are awesome beyond comparison. It’s just a shame no one in Australia can recognise this.

I am currently working with a group of 6 artists who are working beyond the current technology dependant market. We have gone back to the roots of art making and aim to meet people at a pure level of aesthetic appreciation; where the tactility of art highlights, nature and human interaction at a new level. Our next series is focused on global warming and the sea. At Chowder Bay, Mosman Sydney we are uniting with scientists at SIMS – the Sydney Institute of Marine Science to cover a broader appreciation and understanding of the sea. Through art and science a new educational platform is explored where art is no longer a pure aesthetic exploration but a domain for education. Something that hasn’t been explored at such length since Da Vinci mapped the human form in all its glory.
True art shows the everyday as if it is being viewed for the first time. The excitement of a new discovery is paramount in this experience.
If you would like to see all our current explorations I am happy to email you some images directly or you can come to one of our meetings . We meet once a month in a Manly cafe…The Artichoke.
Contact Rachel 0423982349
cheers
Can’t wait for your next series!
