I recently worked with circuit bending artist Nick Wishart on a project for the Underbelly Arts Festival
http://underbellyarts.com.au/2011/artists/
Here is the blurb from the Underbelly site:
" Spatio-temporal Anomalies, Spatial Distortion and the Persistence of Vision will take your favourite household appliances and throw-away objects and turn them into something quite unexpected. In a collaborative first for the two artists, this project seeks to challenge our understanding of what it means to use an object and how its environment effects its use.
Nick Wishart is a Sydney-based installation and sound artist, and one third of electronic toy band Toydeath. Video, film and installation artist FMGrande likes to make work that focuses on fascination in the mundane. "
The project is an ongoing exploration of "objects and their relation to space"... this is an underlying theme of my current PhD studies at the College of Fine Arts Sydney... I am looking at the complexities of spatio-temporal relations... the way our perception - physical and formative/ educational - effect/affect the way we actually see / feel / hear / smell and understand the spaces we inhabit...
We are currently working on a website, its still under construction but will soon be online at:
