Presenting a new work at Feb SeenSound in Melbourne tonight.

on By

The new work is a composition I performed live in New Zealand in August 2022, and I have now collaborated with Dr John Montgomery on an audiovisual version of the work. The work is called Sentient and it explores the idea of an AI machine becoming sentient – from the perspective of the machine.

UNE Symposium P.S.#Metoo

on By

UNE Creative and Cultural Arts Network Symposium – University of New England (UNE)

Since the Harvey Weinstein scandal erupted in 2017, the so-called “#MeToo movement” has brought a number of powerful men in the arts and cultural industries to account for sexual assault allegations. Some of these men were found guilty, while others had their names (controversially) cleared; all arguably now exist in a post-“Me Too” landscape.

This symposium will explore how a reconsideration of gender-based harassment and sexual abuse might reconfigure how we approach making, thinking about, and teaching arts and culture. Do concerns over consent and power liberate artists, or encourage a new cultural puritanism? Alternatively, is systemic inequality and abuse a far deeper problem than a hashtag and some high-profile court cases?
