video @ http://aliak.blip.tv/file/2127156

"Bonseng" - a video diary of some boys in a detention centre and showed the sign language using their hands that they use to communicate between the rooms in the compound.
"Bilal" was a short clip of a Muslim member of the punk scene signing Adzan as part of his worshipping.
"Taring Babi" showed the punk community known as Marjinal, AFRA (Anti Fasis, Anti Rasis), and Tempe Quality and their band, music label, screenprinting & poster art business as well as their work with children & members of the community.
"Andang And Sarjo" was an interview with a local small-businessman / hairdresser whilst he cut the interviewers hair short
"Jogja Berhati Mural" told the story of some of the street art and murals painted in the local communities to brighten the streetscapes, as well as other community projects such as cleaner disposal of community rubbish

Chimera is the body that performs with mixed realities. A biological body, augmented with technology and telematically performing with virtual systems. The chimera is an alternate embodiment.

This is an age of organs without bodies, of organs awaiting bodies. There is now a proliferation of organs. A proliferation of biocompatible components in both substance and scale that allows technology to be attached and implanted into the body. Organs are extracted and exchanged. Organs are engineered and inserted. Blood flowing in my body might tomorrow be circulating in your body. Ova are fertilized in-vitro with sperm that has been unfrozen. The face of the donor becomes a third face on the recipient. The body acts with indifference. Indifference as opposed to expectation. An indifference that allows something to occur, that allows an unfolding - in its own time and with its own rhythm. An indifference that allows suspending a body with hooks, inserting a sculpture inside the body and surgically constructing an ear on an arm. This presentation examines alternate anatomical architectures using mechanical, virtual, biotech and surgical augmentation and exploration of the body. It exposes the obsolescence, the absence and the emptiness of the body.

Stelarc is a performance artist who has performed with a third hand, a virtual arm, a 6-legged walking robot and is presently surgically constructing and stem cell growing an ear on his arm.

This seminar will be held at at the Law Building, Lecture Theatre G08, University Square, 185 Pelham Street, Carlton 3053.

]]> Custa's house was broken into and his record collection of acid tech records & other things including Mac computers with around 17000 photos (memories) were stolen from the Gold Coast. if anyone hears of them for sale pls post/contact him. or would anyone know any 2nd hand places that might be worth checking on the Gold Coast / Brisbane in case they show up?

Some labels are Acid test, bionic orange, Manx rippers, stay up forever, stay up forever remix, wah wah, skankadelic, BAWOP, headcase

he doesn't have a computer atm (stolen too) - but if you hear of any of these for sale, pls let him know via his facebook profile or let me know & I can pass onto him

pls pass on if you can
thanks for your help!

thanks
kath

I've started a google spreadsheet listing record stores / pawn stores on the gold coast in case they turn up at one of these. pls add to this if you know of some more to try!
