We have had government funding for new media since the early '80s. |
Search for beauty without features, something deeper than any signs. |
The work gets more political as I become older and more aware, I guess, of power and justice issues. |
A lot of the images in my work are a kind of visual diary of places I've been, what I've seen, heard, smelt. |
I need to borrow a camera to take some pix of my studio, which is basically the kitchen table. |
I am ashamed to be Australian in these times. |
My Roman girlfriend translates bits from Italian into English. It is sublime. |
All history is pornography. |
I like to travel. I will be in Banff next year. I would like to make a series of DVDs at Banff. I won't talk about where they will end up... just not in the media art world. |

I was working as an art and tech researcher in '84. At that time there had been a small government program of assistance for artists for at least three or four years. I was working with Super 8 film then. And video in '85 and public radio in the early '80s. |

I do suspect that this world is hell. |
