New Media Curation (NMC) is a move towards simplifying the curation of technological artworks. From action/response works supported by floorpads, to laser or image recognition installations, to generative and augmented works, NMC can assist you in facilitating, administering, and actualizing your exhibition both nationally and internationally.

After prototyping in Beta_space, Experimenta approached us to include Nauru Elegies in their International Biennial of Media Arts: UTOPIA NOW, launching a finished version of the exhibition in Melbourne at Blindside Gallery. The artists spent eight weeks with a production crew on Nauru filming, researching, and interviewing the inhabitants to provide the global audience with a cross section of contemporary existence through the mediums of sound, music, and light; highlighting how an isolated culture struggles to survive at the cusp of financial, cultural, and social displacement. This viewpoint will now tour Australia over 2010!

Public diary of a curatorial girl...
I have been fortunate enough to have been invited to participate in the EXPERIMENTA UTOPIA NOW International Media Arts Biennial, courtesy of KWON MILLER PRODUCTIONS and their fabulous art! Now might be a pertinent time to remind my avid fans <you know who you are...> that The Nauru Elegies @ Blindside Gallery concludes this Saturday 6 March @ 5pm. Friday night we are having a huge blow out at Shed4 Warehouses, where Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky) will perform the score to The Nauru Elegies with a live string quartet. A VJ will perform both before and after Mr. Miller's concert, for those of us who need to shake a little booty! Tickets available at www.moshtix.com.au!
Below is my cheeky take on Secret Diary of a Call Girl, only a bit more formulaic and reflexive than Billie Piper's portrayal in the BBC adaptation of the blog and books of the British escort Belle du Jour. It's quite a bit less sexy though...
