my other works on show are from my #specture series ::: hand-made / hand-coded web drawings in javascript (P5.JS), hand made #bioPlastic materiality tests, 3D printed extinct & speculative evolution species, 3D scanned - lidar & photogrammetry works, 3D modelling digital works brought into the physical world after beginning as hand drawn contour drawings, covering topics such as extinction, speculative evolution, lost interconnections from the species loss of ecosystem engineers / public housing providers of the environmental world

this video (11mins) is a run through / documentation of my works at the end of the arts trail. this is a mini-survey of some my ecology-based artworks since completing my Fine Art and Visual Culture degree up until now. I'm looking forward to what's coming next!

Agitate/d exhibition

Agitate/d

Angharad Evans, Beata Geyer, Billy Gruner, Chris Packer, Gary Deirmendjian, Ian Milliss, Isobel Johnston, Juliet Fowler Smith & Noelene Lucas – WRVAP, Kath O'Donnell, M Bozzec, Paraskevy Begetis, Pia Larsen, Sarah Keighery, Susan Andrews, Tom Loveday
Curated by Lizzy Marshall

Articulate Project Space | Downstairs | Opens on May 3 until May 25 | Fri, Sat & Sun

Agitate/d responds to the frustrations and the inability to communicate the manifestations of change occurring.

Responding to the shifting world order and accruing frustrations in our daily lives, Agitate/d presents artworks that communicate across suppression and censorship, or articulate the incomprehensible. Drawing on the Suprematists’ and Constructivists’ drive for a universal system of language that was inclusive, the exhibition showcases works that utilise laconic and subversive visual strategies of communicating.

Through the graphic, geometric, colour, typographic, and semaphore, the artists show us that they are agitated, communicating what is causing their agitation or creating newly responsive agitprop. Agitation is action.

body as sac (2025)

body as sac (2025)

Inspired from reading “bodies of water“ and “material feminisms“ books, with their ideas on the posthuman feminine body and theories - bodies of water, blood, milk etc. made me think about what other materials are in the posthuman body, now we’re carrying plastic and some are injecting botox and saline and other cosmetic materials. For this work I explored making bioplastic / bio-silicone to see what other sustainable materials might be used. Or, if society moved to more sustainable plastics could they dissolve before/in the body for less harm? So this is a sac (fishbowl, that ppl look at, like feminine bodies are looked at) with materiality explorations and gloopy liquids (from photos of the materials’ samples & closeup pics via a digital microscope, made more gloopy via AI) are projected into the body/bowl via another pepper’s ghost process to show movement and life in the body, whilst the petri dish samples cure / set during the duration of the exhibition …

“Boobs Are Dancing” exhibition at @articulateprojectspace sydney. Thanks so much for the opportunity to show my work in this wonderful group show!

This Hideous Replica exhibition

Lifting its title from a misheard line in a 1980 song by The Fall about a reclusive dog breeder whose ‘hideous replica’ haunts industrial Manchester, this experimental project—an admixture of artworks, performances, screenings, workshops, a ‘replica school’ and other uncanny encounters—adopts monstrous replication as a tactic, condition and curatorial framework for exploring algorithmic culture, simultaneously alienating, seductive and out-of-control.

Exhibition includes works by Amy May Stuart, Angie Waller, Anna Vasof, Debris Facility, Diego Ramirez, Emile Zile, Joshua Citarella, Liang Luscombe, Loren Adams, Masato Takasaka, Matthew Griffin & Heath Franco and Mo Chu.

Performances, talks and workshops by Catherine Ryan, Chloe Sobek, Jennifer Walshe, Joel Sherwood Spring, Machine Listening, McKenzie Wark, Roslyn Helper, Tomomi Adachi and more.

Curated by Joel Stern and Sean Dockray.

This Hideous Replica has been produced by RMIT Culture and supported by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S) and the RMIT Design and Creative Practice Enabling Impact Platforms. This project is a part of the City of Melbourne’s Now or Never festival. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body and by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.

23 Aug - 16 Sep 2024

The Sun is Not the Only Bright Star exhibition held during Miami Art Week 2023

During the past couple of months I've been working on co-curating & project managing a digital art exhibition for Teia art community/platform, which included five Teia artists curated by our team and fed into a physical exhibition, "Tezos x RefractionDAO", held at the Nautilus Hotel in Miami (Dec 6-8th 2023) as a side event during Miami Art Week. Miami Art Basel was held at this time, in different venues. The physical exhibition resulted in a global meme on twitter due to their exhibition design — long story ::: #tezpole.

We also produced post-exhibition artefacts for Teia which featured the full 38 artists and 11 artist-curators artworks: an electronic (PDF) catalogue and online / virtual gallery exhibition, "The Sun is Not the Only Bright Star".

It was an exercise in decentralized curation, working remotely with 11 curators (myself included) and 38 (predominantly digital) artists from around the world, covering multiple diversity and equity groups for the artists that sometimes don't get featured as much as they should.

Flora | Fauna #2 exhibition

The Flora | Fauna #2 exhibition opened at Tz1and place# 474 on 28 May 2022. Organized by the bad lament (#154) and Pearl Hyacinth (#162) and presented by CleanNFTs, Teia and Tz1and, the exhibition included works minted exclusively in Tz1and from artists and Tz1andians: 852Kerfunkle, AliaK, anahdraws, Blase, Carla Knopp, Chris Coleman, Filipe Mecenas, Kelly Richardson, Keram Malicki-Sánchez, Kheelk, Luis E. Fraguada, Malicious Sheep, mawcreature, moonsoon, Ned Boyanov, Orfhlaith Egan, Ottis, Pearl Hyacinth, James Alec Hardy, Simon Wairiuko, Stu Sontier, thebadlament, v1tb1t, and We Throw Rocks. It followed on from the Flora | Fauna #1 exhibition held in Cryptovoxels in April 2021 for Earth Day.

In keeping with the exhibition's theme, the open-air gallery building created by Pearl Hyacinth allowed visitors to take advantage of the virtual world and fly above the space to see a bird's eye view of the art as well as walk around for a close-up view of the works ranging from 2D framed images and 3D art objects. Many artists created plant focused digital paintings, prints and photographic works based on both nature and imagination, with a few animals featured also, such as a pair of cats, swans, a dinosaur and a platypus. Grasses and flowers were placed throughout the gallery as well as the grounds outside, leading visitors to walk through the space in quiet contemplation of the works, taking time to explore each one. Trees sprouted multi-coloured branches and leaves through the open ceiling of the gallery, allowing the viewer to explore the works in all directions and dimensions.

Voice chats were held May 28 7AM & May 29 9PM (UTC) in the Tz1and Discord channel as part of the exhibition launch, and Carolyn and Ryan from Teia Community captured a walkthrough video of the exhibition at Teia Community /// FLORA | FAUNA 2 Exhibit in Tz1and @ Place#474

Over Here exhibition

I haven't made it to the "Over Here" exhibition as it's in Perth (and I'm not), but a classmate posted the online catalog - one to keep in mind for my materiality class exercises.

Over Here : NYISZTOR STUDIO (391 Canning Hwy, Melville, Perth)

Tracing Materiality exhibition

we went along to the Tracing Materiality exhibition on Sunday. the artists had been doing some continuous drawings on large rolls of paper, as well as wall drawings, and working with wax. I'm going to try make it to the talk on the 20th march too. I loved all the work! and there was a stack of drawing books for me to chase up also :)
