STREAMFLOW CONDITIONS: EXHIBITION & EVENT DETAILS

Streamflow Conditions** is an online exhibition of electronic literature and networked writing curated by Judd Morrissey at the invitation of Subito Press at the University of Colorado. Beginning with a site-specific consideration of the Colorado landscape and its engineered waterways, the selection of works examines discrete markers in the contemporary data-scape of writing within networked culture. The artists and works chosen each represent an innovative use of language in conjunction with code, data, or networked spaces. The exhibition as a whole engages the overflowing boundaries between presence, process, and object at a time when currents of digital literary practice meet the culture and corpus of writing online (& the imminent google waves).

**gallery of works still under construction but please explore the site.

Forever Michael – 7 minute video touring some of the hundreds of Second Life tributes to Michael Jackson

Forever Michael (Sin City)

Designed around spontaneous memorials that are erected around key sites at the time of celebrity deaths, this installation both pays tribute to and comments in the mass hysteria surrounding Michael Jackson’s untimely passing. First reported on celebrity gossip site TMZ.com, Michael’s death sparked an unprecedented internet frenzy, with Twitter recording over 5000 Jackson Tweets a minute. Over 11 million people watched his memorial live on the web, and tributes, traditionally found on the street were springing up on social networking sites and virtual reality applications such as Second Life.This traditional tribute memorial combines both the physical and virtual with a 7 minute video touring some of the hundreds of Second Life tributes to Michael Jackson. Streaming along the bottom of the screen are the sensationalized headlines which appeared, and continue to appear, on TMZ.com. Ending with paparazzi footage of Michael in the last month of his life, we are both voyeur and sympathiser as we watch a lonely figure being hunted and trapped by a mob of ever-persistent cameramen who feed the frenzy that surrounded him in life, and now in death.

“Michael Jackson kept his most stunning performance for the very end. Always able to command an audience, he knew how to bring whole arenas to fits of exultation with his moves and then silence them to the point of tears with his poetry. He was brilliant, excessive, maudlin, tacky and possibly criminal, but you could never ignore him. So it was fitting that in death, he momentarily silenced the largest arena humanity has ever known, the Internet.” TIME MAGAZINE, JULY 2009

Who: Georgie Roxby Smith

Womens Circus Presents, HerStory. Celebrating 18 years of spectacular performances.

The WOMEN’S CIRCUS presents HERSTORY (in conjunction with BigWest Festival)

This year the Women’s Circus turns 18, and to celebrate the not-inconsiderable feat of surviving as a community arts organisation in a competitive world, they present HerStory, a tale of what it means to be lost and find yourself, to be earth-bound and learn to fly, to be shy and step out from behind the mask. Using the language of circus interwoven with video projection and a narrative of personal anecdotes, HerStory will take the audience on a wild ride from the Circus’ own birth to her coming of age.

Following the Women’s Circus tradition of performing in unique and unusual venues in the western suburbs, HerStory will be performed at the Living Museum of the West, a significant historical industrial site in the history of Melbourne. HerStory will transform the superbly restored bluestone building and surrounding parkland into a dynamic circus extravaganza with performers roaming the parklands and entertaining guests for an hour prior to the show; and during interval be dazzled by a spectacular fire act in the park.

In conjunction with the show is a free exhibition celebrating 18 years of the Women’s Circus and its influence on the development of contemporary social and physical circus in Australia. The exhibition includes posters, behind the scenes photographs, circus diaries
and costumes, as well as footage from past performances.

Performance Dates: Friday 20 November to Sunday 6 December 2009
Thursday, Nov 19/26, Dec 3, pre-show 7pm, show starts 8pm
Friday, Nov 20/27, Dec 4, pre-show 7pm, show starts 8pm
