My practice tracks in a lineage of expanded cinema, my interdisciplinary
projects explore interrelationships between movement, devised spaces,
and media technologies. Throughout my practice, I experiment and forge
new ground aesthetically, collaboratively, and technically. I have
created many and varied multi-screen installations using early analogue
technologies (35 mm slide projection, super 8 projection and 16 mm
projection) through to state-of-the-art high-end digitally controlled
systems utilizing live video, motion capture, motion control
technologies, and Robotics. I collaborate to designed new dance
performances, produce films, videos, new media artworks.
I have collaborated with many choreographers and directors including,
Adelina Larsson, Ros Warby, Sandra Parker, Rebecca Hilton, Lucy Guerin,
Carol Brown, Russell Dumas, Russell Maliphant, John Jaspers, Ong Keng
Sen, Hellen Sky, Vicki Van Hout, and Gideon Obarzanek and mentored many
dance-makers in Australia and internationally.
My installations demonstrate a commitment to experimentation. Cinematic
Experiments (2019), Quartet (2007), Miss World (2001), Elasticity and
Volume (1998) and Mobility in an Artificial City (1996/7) were highly
praised and received substantial public investment from the Australia
Council and Arts Council of England. Funding for these projects also
included A Science and Art – Production Award from the Wellcome Trust,
London (2005), and an Arts Victoria Commission (2002). My media artwork
have been exhibited extensively including in India, the USA, Cuba,
Australia, Germany, the UK, Japan, and Finland.
