Drifting at Beta-Space, Sydney

This interactive video installation is a prototype work exploring the themes of immersion and interaction through the metaphor of insomnia at the different stages between wakefulness and sleeping. For this piece, Burns has pulled from both personal and external experiences to connect with the viewer. This work allows the viewer to act as a voyeur as they watch the personal lives of others and are led to reflect on their own.
 
Exhibition open until 28 February, 10.00am – 5.00pm
Beta_space, Cyberworlds Gallery, L1 – Powerhouse Museum, 500 Harris Street, Ultimo, Sydney

Found Sound: The Experimental Instrument Project

A new series of musical and sound art events featuring original instruments designed and built by Australian artists and composers. The project showcases rarely exhibited constructions by a diverse selection of performers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, including experimental music composers, musicians, sculptors and visual artists. Some of the performers are renowned pioneers in their fields; others are more recent initiates into experimental sound art.

Each event takes the form of an improvised collaboration between at least two participants who do not usually play together. All sounds are to be generated by original, hand-made and/or found elements that can be welded, wired, stuck together, collaged or otherwise assembled into ‘playable’ forms.

Launched 28 January, 6:30pm
Guildford Lane Gallery, 20-24 Guildford Lane, Melbourne CBD
