I've set up a new blog called Scroll - Type
It exists to document my travels abroad from Japan, The Netherlands, and onto the United States, where I'll be taking part in an artist residency for the rest of 2011.
I've used the wonderful COL horizontal scroll theme by Greg Ponchak.
Documenting day-to-day experiences via short text pieces, poetry, and a selection of travel photos.

3rd self-released EP from The Min Min Lights: Secret Sessions, released today.
‘Secret Sessions’ was recorded during residence at our old farm-style cottage share-house at Doon Court, in Briar Hill, Victoria, Australia.
The recordings were taken in 2009 from practice sessions of our live performance score for Kwaidan, which took place at Rainbow Serpent Festival the same year.
We have decided to release the recordings, but true to The Min Min Lights ethos, we journeyed to the Blue Mountains National Park ...Read More

To celebrate the first anniversary of the audio-visual project NOUMINA, I have decided, after much deliberation, to release it online for free download.
NOUMINA uses open-source material: hi-res images from NASA, the Planetarium software Stellarium - and as such is offered to the public under a creative commons license.
For release, I've never wanted to compromise on quality - which seems to be a given with web video at this point in time. So I have decided to avoid the compression ...Read More
I'll be taking part in BYOB Utrecht, a one-night-only video projection exhibition. BYOB stands for 'Bring Your Own Beamer' - that's 'projectors' for all us non-Europeans.
The night is being run by Setup Media Lab, and I'm fortunate enough to have them arrange an install of Mute City Dreemz (2010) for me.
From the Setup website:
The white space reinvented. For one night we will take over the Utrecht Center for Fine Arts and turn the walls of the space into a ...Read More

Recently, I had the privilege of attending an immersive cinema lab in Perth, entitled DomeLab 2010. It was a one week intensive residency on live-action content-creation for 'Full Dome' , or 'Planetarium cinema', presented by the Australian Network for Art and Technology.
I was interested in attending the residency for it's immersive potential, and being a media and sound artist was intrigued about the possibilities for a high-definition cinematic experience.
The workshop was a hectic 6 day experience, meeting upwards of 30 artists, designers, technicians, tutors, ...Read More
If you're in Melbourne get out to Paradise Hills Gallery in Richmond to see the vital new solo show by Ry David Bradley, in collaboration with Californian artist Parker Ito.
It's one of the raddest shows I've seen in Melbourne in a while, and the Metro Gallery blog has a great text summing up both artists by curators Sean Irving and Nina Renee.
I snapped off a few shots at the opening last night, which featured a live Skype session with Parker ...Read More
Mute City Dreemz (2010)
HD Video Projection onto Trace, Glass
1080p, dimensions variable
Description:
The Paleolithic used the cave painting ceremonially to visualize the hunt - to either worship or call upon the Bison for its blessings (to be used for food, tools, clothing). Today, we do not use these methods – I do not visualize a supermarket or retail department store through art in order to bring food, clothing, goods etc. Our visions are of a different kind – a ‘better’ ...Read More
