Five Points of a Circle


You are invited to my exhibition Five Points of a Circle to be held at M16 Artspace in Canberra from 17 January - 3 February 2019. I will be showing 5 films that explore the themes of memory, loneliness, alienation, mystery and disquiet. The films also reflect my 5 primary areas of exploration: Socio-political commentary, the intersection of reality and desire, chance encounters and collaboration, seeking the marvellous in the mundane and the impacts of new technologies on human interactions. The opening will be on Thursday 17 January at 6pm. I will be giving a floor talk on Thursday 31 January between 1-2pm (tbc). I will also be in attendance at the Gallery on the weekend of 26/27th January. M16 Artspace is at 21 Blaxland Crescent, Griffith, ACT. Opening hours are Wednesday - Sunday 12pm - 5pm. The exhibition is funded as part of the M16 Artspace Regional Initiative. Hope to see you there...

SPAMM (SuPer Art Modern Museum)


Absolutely stoked out of my tiny little mind to be included in SPAMM (SuPer Art Modern Museum). For me this represents one of the biggest, if not the biggest achievement of my creative journey. As one who has for most of the time sat on the margins and felt like an outsider in the mainstream art world, it's nice to feel like I finally belong somewhere. Check out some incredible art by artists working in the digital field! Enter SPAMM here...

dadaland collective:

is a proposal for the next iteration of The Wrong – New Digital Art Biennale to be called The Wrong (nova) scheduled for November/December 2019 and January 2020. The Wrong Board and Council is yet to hand down guidelines and timelines (this is expected late 2018), but from previous nova events organised by The Wrong's founder David Quiles Guilló we might assume that they include this: “An interactive, full-environmental experience inside museums and cultural institutions, utilizing color, light, textures, music and design, in the form of collaborative and integrated art compositions and performances by a selected range of artists from around the world. Each time NOVA happens, it happens in a different shape and form, but always respecting its three key features: to reveal the work in progress, to generate all work in collaboration between the artists participating and to always make it live.”

dadaland collective:

takes as it's point of departure Hugo Ball's description of Cabaret Voltaire: “Everyone has been seized by an indefinable intoxication. The small cabaret is about to come apart at the seams and is going to be a playground for crazy emotions.”

I just wanted to say... (automatic poem)

I just wanted to say...
I love you
Im eternal....
Hey thanks
in all my life, in all your life, thoughts just fly away, brittle winds throw up your thoughts, nothing left to say
there is room for one more inside
I hope you have a great day!
Many of these things are
that even thought the nature of existence is the one of suffering, we are all in this together.
you were right but it doesn't change the fact that we're about to die. i'm sorry i couldn't give _____ back to you. don't forgive me. let me die with the guilt proferred, weightless and glimmering, zeroes and ones, an echo in the sound.
humanity is great and awful and i want to hug and kill everyone
Geopoliticus Face Alienated
That knowing the time of day...
fuck the unluck of good ppl
Listen learn and try to understand and call out hypocrisy whenever you can
Nothing worse than trumped up monkeys who think they are special
This salmon scanned at ten dollars, but it says nine ninety nine on the shelf

This poem was written by you, or someone, or somebody. It started with a publicly available Google Form promoted through this site and social media. The idea being that you could contribute to an automatic poem. The contributions were completely anonymous. I don't know who wrote what or what country they came from or whether it was many people or just one. Some people have obviously tried to contribute in the spirit of the experiment. Others, well you wonder why they bother. I had an interesting discussion with a software developer a few weeks back who coined the term 'crowd sourced art', which I like as a concept. His experience of such things were that given the chance people were more likely to draw a moustache on a face than use the opportunity to participate in collective creativity. So this is it, without edits or embellishment. There is some beautiful and thoughtful writing which moves me. Great poetry? I think perhaps not. But then, maybe my preconceptions have to adjust to the reality of what now exists. So, I just wanted to say...

I just wanted to say...



Please write your response. It will be assembled into an automatic poem. All replies are anonymous...

The Wrong is the largest and most comprehensive digital art biennale today. A global event aiming to display digital culture, open to participation, and spreading its content through online and offline locations around the world.

This graphic has been done for the exhibition 'Your Voice' to be held in As Suwayda, Syria, on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women on November 25th 2016. The exhibition is organized by UMA, an NGO supporting women. A little of the background...

A little bit of freedom
‘Under the regime of Assad this kind of activities was impossible. Now some militia groups are in control of As Suwayda side by side with the Assad regime, so there is a little bit of freedom. The police asked for the nature of this organization and they allow it,’ explains Aktham Abu Fakher, who fled Syria in 2014 because of his activities in human rights. Akthams wife, Amany Abu Daqa, organizes this exhibition on women rights. She started UMA some years ago together with some friends. All still live in As Suwayda. Akhtam doesn’t. Currently he lives in Willemstad, Curaҫao.

It is an honour to be taking part in this exhibition in a place where humanity has been forsaken...
