Propeller
John Waller
Propeller—a long drawn out moment in a digital pond.
Propeller uses computer code to produce an infinitely varying animation of rotating propeller-like shapes. The random timing of the animation produces a constantly changing environment reminiscent of fish tanks, wind chimes, or perhaps insects in the bush—or some other similar but not quite definable domain.
Originally developed as a four screen video, with sound, for either monitors or projection (seejwaller.com.au/dt/propeller.html), in this exhibition it is shown as a silent, single screen projection.
DVD, SD/HD video, 1-4 channels, 2009.

Stabilisers
Jasmin Coleman with Cara-Ann Simpson
Stabilisers is a site responsive installation by Jasmin Coleman with sound composition Transitioning by Cara-Ann Simpson. Stabilisers explores tensions between permanency and flux, stability and instability through the installation of large industrial structures. In the gallery space, a braced, industrial composition transitions from an inanimate structure to a physical, material, even anthropomorphic entity. In contrast, Transitioning explores movement, tension and the changing states of energy to build a state of unease. Using manipulated field recordings from urban, industrial locations, Transitioning reveals the constant fluctuating rhythms that society has invented and drawn around itself since the Industrial Revolution.
This project has received financial assistance from the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
Stabilisers is also supported by Coates Hire.

“Anal Systems Conglomerate”
Tyler Clark and Ed McAliece
A collaboration between two artists whose work has been informed by systems and formats of the everyday. The work engages with institutional structures, emblems, and prosaic conventions, suggesting that reality equates to an array of networked systems.
Exploring the fluidity accessible within rigid configuration and alignments of these systems, the drawing based installation will lay out, chart, and map new constellations and arrangements.

Partnered Dance: Both Lead
Danae Valenza
Partnered Dance: Both Lead is an investigation of power relations in social interaction. Both participants take the dominant lead position, abstracting the ritualised dance so that the connection (or disconnection) of each subject can be observed.
Danae Valenza blends sound and video traditions to investigate interpersonal dynamics and gain insight on varied capacities of a collective consciousness. She graduated with first class honours from Monash University in 2010. Recent Exhibitions include Innovators 1, at Linden Contemporary, Hans Arp if you like Dada at ArtBeat and Phonologies at Blindside Artist Run Initiative.

‘You Geysir Crazy’
Kim Jaeger
You Geysir Crazy is an exploration of time and space – sounds sci-fi doesn’t it? Trust me, it’s not. I’m building an Icelandic cave.

Panopticon
Marita Lillie
As surveillance, spectatorship, reality TV and ‘Facebook’ increasingly invade our space, restrictions as a photographer become more questioned and uncertain.
The Panopticon Project is an installation work that consists of hidden camera devices that capture video surveillance within the gallery space. Still images are created from the footage and are then projected on the night screen the following month. The exhibition highlights the restraints and problematic nature of photography today. What is allowed and what isn’t? What and whom can be photographed? Indeed, how frequently are we photographed without our knowledge? This project explores various interpretations of surveillance while questioning the ethics and legalities of this ever-expanding phenomenon.

Untitled (snow-white)
Fiona Williams
Whether falling through the air or as a layer on the ground snow is made up of mostly air space. As light reaches snow, there are so many points for it to be reflected that no single wavelength is absorbed or reflected with any consistency. Almost all of the white light from the sun hitting the snow will reflect back and still be white light. Therefore, snow appears white. (http://weather.about.com/od/winterweather/a/snow_white.htm)
Fiona Williams works somewhere between photography and painting. Untitled (snow-white) is a compilation of new work exploring presence, or a sense of something that is at once brightly pointed and strangely muted.

Transparence
Camille Hannah
In order to allow for a broad discussion about the possibilities of painting as an active participant with its own language, as well as ideas about what constitutes a spatial experience in relation to painting, Camille Hannah’s paintings explore concepts pertaining to a Baroque vision, its connection to installational forms of painting and how this relates to the notion of an ‘erotics’ of painting. Her work traverses the paradox between the prohibition of touch in relation to art – and the erotics of painting, through ideas of correlation and its relationship to the Baroque with an emphasis on notions of sensation and affect, whilst positioning her work within the visual language of ‘the screen’.
