Experimenta Comission

For the next 6 months at least I will be working on a comission for Experimenta New Media Arts Fund in Melbourne.

EXPERIMENTOPIA - 2009 International Biennial of Media Arts
EXPERIMENTA COMMISSIONS ANNOUNCED

From a competitive field in which an unprecedented high number of outstanding submissions were received, we are pleased to announce the successful artists for the Experimenta Commissions 2008 program for the Experimentopia exhibition.

Congratulations to Sarah Firth (ACT, Marco Bresciani (Vic) and Kit Wise (Vic).
Also to Rhys Turner & Melissa Ramos (NSW)and Andrew Buchanan (Vic) whose projects are funded through the Australia Council’s Young and Emerging Artists’ Initiative for artists under 30.

In Experimenta invited Australian artists to submit proposals for commissioned artworks to be included in our next exhibition of exceptional Australian and international media artworks. The call out urged artists to "look closely at your surroundings, both local and global, and consider what would you fight for? What would you fight to prevent? What are you willing to put yourself on the line to protect or create? What is that world, neighbourhood, landscape, or object? And how does it look, sound, and feel?"

I'm very excited!
