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
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
NOUMINA presents a story, an abstract narrative, a cinematic journey through the cosmos. From a twinkly gaze at the stars, we are confronted with a presence, a geometric object, and are taken on a journey to its domain. Through super hi-resolution images of the Universe, the participant experiences multi-dimensional layers, geometric viewports to other-worldly realities.

Man's landing on the moon opened up a new consciousness for humans: for the first time we saw our planet as a whole, rather than a collection of divided countries and continents. Similarly, a new perception of ourselves has emerged with the proliferation of high quality satellite imagery, such as those provided by Google Earth. We now have access to the collective Space Eye, and possess the ability to zoom and focus at any one scale of the fractal. NASA provides ...Read More
Audio is a live recording from the set, however the video recording didn't turn out so great, so this is instead a rough mock-up of how it went. Obviously a lot of the improvisations that took place visually on the night are missing, but this will give you an idea. Something of a compilation of video work from 2008 :+ a lot of digicam movies from my travels, weaved into some samples from 'The Future is Not What is Used ...Read More

Just received this email from the 'YouTube Content Identification Team' to inform me that my final year Diploma video piece from Swinburne 'exp.05' has been pulled due to copyright infringement. The piece was set to a track by Nine Inch Nails from the album The Fragile. Ironically, NIN are these days calling on artists to use their free music to create free tunes for upload to YouTube! No Matter! Check it out on Vimeo! The email: Dear VintageSystem, Video Disabled A copyright owner has claimed ...Read More
