Bloggers gaining in credibility: A recent report from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), readers of internet news are just as likely to trust news they find in web blogs as mainstream media news sites. ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel said a recent report by search engine Technorati showed the number of non-mainstream blogs in the 100 most popular information websites was increasing: http://www.news.com.au/business/story/0,23636,22596284-31037,00.html

Robin Fox
Artist Talk
Laser oscilloscope eyelobe exorcism braingasm grows screaming children and trembling pensioners.
Tuesday October 30, 6-8pm
Footscray Arts
Robin Fox works in the fields of computer music performance and audio visual diffusion. He has made a series of films for the cathode ray oscilloscope and now performs regularly across Australia and Europe with an audio controlled laser system. Musically, he has released two albums with composer and performer Anthony Pateras
(coagulate on synaesthesia and flux compendium on eMego), a solo recording as well as albums with double bass player Clayton Thomas and the band Beta Erko featuring MC Vulk Makedonski.
Fox will present his new project ‘Raum’, which involves the construction of an immersive mirrored room (reflective surfaces facing inward). Laser light is fired onto the mirrored surfaces and manipulated with audio to create ‘standing wave’ situations. Footscray Audio-Visual Social Club presents an intimate evening with this prolific
audiovisual innovator.

The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) has boldly entered the world of online exhibiting with the launch of Animated, an online collection of self portraits by fourteen Australian artists.
Animated is not a conventional portraiture show. The images and sounds in the exhibition range from stop-motion to computer generated imagery, greatly extending the possibilities of the genre beyond its traditional form.
The animated self portraits record an emotional and a physical likeness of the artist as well as giving the online audience an insight into how each artist views themselves.
The artists are Jo Boag, Pia Borg, Rick Bull, The Contextual Villains, Susan Danta, Paul Oslo Davis, Jonathan Daw, Anita Fontaine, Ian Haig, Troy Innocent, Anthony Lucas, Matt Taylor, Arlene TextaQueen and Tony Thorne.
Such a diverse pool of talent ensures that Animated covers a wide range of styles and techniques and we can compare the approach of the up-and-coming, the long established industry professionals, the visual artists and film animators, including the Oscar nominated Anthony Lucas.
Animated was launched on Friday Ocober 26.
