We've confirmed our performance at this year's Peats Ridge Festival. It will be at the dome on New Year's Eve, giving us another chance to fine tune our sensor based performance.

Well it's been quite a week. After a packed turnout to the Art Groupie exhibition, I was on a bit of a high and feeling inspired to do lots of creative work. My machinery had other ideas. First a video project I was really close to finishing ended up corrupted. All progress made over the last few days was lost.

Tomorrow we celebrate the end of an era. Our studio and creative share house of 7 years is being sold to make way for urban progress. The house dates from the 1930s and is surrounded by endless blocks of apartments. The large block is ripe for redevelopment. Who needs to hold onto history, right?

Moving the Studio
Cables, old hard drives, discs, dusty old instruments everywhere. Clearing space in one corner only to have it filled with chaos the next second. It's a new chapter for us - the relocation of our studio. While no-one can say moving is fun, the cat's certainly been enjoying the re-assembly of the mixing desk.deprogramhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09024930149840337643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903937.post-79559723236289224922008-07-21T21:35:00.000+10:002008-08-02T15:11:21.597+10:00

Underbelly Festival over for another year
Life seems strangely empty now that the Underbelly Festival + Public Arts Lab is over. No more sleepless nights in a playground filled with eccentric creative artists. Now we're adjusting to life back in the studio, the desire for collaboration stronger than ever.

Last day of the Underbelly Arts Lab
We're pushing ahead, trying to get our Underbelly project finished by tomorrow. I'm now able to manipulate my vocal effects using gloves and the visual output is projected onto the geodesic dome as smoke. The result is a far more expressive performance, as I can use my hands to 'draw' the sound rather than sit behind a laptop mumbling into a microphone.

Our first week at Underbelly has been an inspiring work in progress. Our idea is unfolding in unpredictable ways, and we still have a lot of technical hurdles to overcome, but we're getting there. It's been fun working with other digital artists in Bay 17 and also watch installations morph and grow in the foyer.
