Using the shifting audio frequencies at Federation Square to manipulate video footage of the site, the work is a rich, sensory, experimental video that presents an abstract layering of colour, space and light.<br /><br />With a painterly aesthetic and a mutating array of colours and forms, <span style="font-style: italic;">Subtle Disparity</span> suggests different passages of time and motion interwoven with the architecture of Federation Square. You can read info about how Tom came to make the work HERE at the Next Wave Time Lapse website.<br /><br />As a way of publically documenting his art-making for <span style="font-style: italic;">Time Lapse</span>, Tom is posting notes and videos about his processes both here and over at his webiste, <a href="http://www.tomhall.com.au/">www.tomhall.com.au</a>.<br /><br />-------<br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >Friday 3 July 2009</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"><br />Tom Hall's </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Subtle Disparity</span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">, luminous and large in the winter night</span><br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5432606&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=5432606&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/5432606">Tom Hall's Subtle Disparity</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1378783">Next Wave</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p>Last night, as a surprisingly large number of people made their way through Federation Square, a new screen-based work by Tom Hall<span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><span>our </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Next Wave Time Lapse</span> artist for July, screened large into the winter night air.

From there I have set about writing a program that leads certain frequencies within audio derived from Federation Square (Melbourne) to choose the level of manipulation and layering the moving image (also from Federation Square) takes. The unique attribute of this work is not the frequency manipulation of the image, but the fact that I have used sensors to take light readings from the imagery, using these readings (parameters) to then re-manipulate the audio, creating an audio/visual feedback loop.

Rock Bodies was made especially for Next Wave Time Lapse, and seems to be born from the angular architecture of Fed Square itself.<br /><br />Inspired by the geological and geometrical structures at Federation Square, Rock Bodies attempts to weave itself into its surrounds and invite passers-by to take a second look.<br /><br />Rock Bodies is a site-specific video and sound trilogy involving the ongoing transformation of its subjects between human and rock form. Using salt as a key inspiration, Rock Bodies seeks to forge relationships between the human form and the earth through the minerals and processes we have in common. While being a playful and fantastical work, Rock Bodies looks to remind its audience about their inherent connection with the earth in these times of environmental devastation.<br /><br />These works explore the idea that earth is a place from which we come and not just a place we happen to inhabit. Our dislocation from the earth contributes to our destruction of it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zoe Scoglio's Rock Bodies</span><br />On the Big Screen, the Atrium screen and the Melbourne Visitors’ Centre internal screen at Federation Square, every Thursday in August.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">About Zoë Scoglio</span> </p><div>Zoë Scoglio is a media artist who creates videos and sounds, mostly for site-specific and performative outcomes.

At the time of its making Klein said: “To paint space, I owe it to myself to go there, to that very space... without illusions or tricks, nor with a plane or a parachute or a rocket ship: [the painter of space] must go there by his own means, with an independent individual force, in a word, he must be capable of levitation.”</span></span></h1><h1><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Into the Void</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> takes this statement and relates it to Smith’s own art practice. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Into the Void traces</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">the journey of a young man (the artist) around New York City. We follow the man as he visits the Museum of Modern Art and Gagosian Gallery. The artist uses video special-effects to give the illusion of him physically immersing himself in Klein’s famous blue paintings and suspending himself in a sublime realm. The work culminates with Smith’s reinterpretation of Klein’s famous</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> Leap into the Void</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">photograph, where Smith has melded multiple moving-image shots of New York to make up an astonishing, modern-day version of the photograph.

Despite Smith revealing himself as the puppet-master, his magical digital worlds still manage to astonish. These works have a joyfully, technophiliac aesthetic. Smith has exhibited in Australia, Japan and New Zealand with screenings in Australia, Brasil, China, Ireland, Mexico, Thailand and Spain. In 2007 he received the prestigious Helen Lempriere Travelling Art Scholarship to undertake a series of artist mentorships in New York. He has since also won the inaugural 2008 Wilson HTM National Art Prize and the 2008 Churchie National Emerging Art Award.</div></div><div><br /><br />IMAGE: Same Smith, <span style="font-style: italic;">Video Camera [HDW-F900/3]</span>, 2007.

The six different sequences in the video are based on bike accidents that either Knowles herself has experienced, or that have been relayed to her:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">“Whenever I fly over the handlebars there is a long moment between when I know I have lost control and when I actually hit the ground, where things slow down and there's time to think about what's going on. It's an exhilarating moment between being intact and lying in a heap of injured limbs and broken bicycle.”</span> Artist Isobel Knowles<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I fell off my bike</span> is a vivid collection of hyper-coloured animation, hand-drawn and computer animated, made especially for the Big Screen at Federation Square.

This is what Rachel Elliot-Jones at <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.threethousand.com.au/out/isobel-knowles-i-fell-off-my-bike/">ThreeThousand.com.au</a> said about it recently:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"If you consider yourself a true Melbourne denizen, then no doubt you are familiar with the humble pushbike. You guys have had some good times, some memorable times, but sometimes you've had your differences and you (the singular you) got thrown to the curb, literally. </span>I Fell Off My Bike<span style="font-style: italic;"> is a series of hand-drawn and computer-animated biking mishap stories, inspired by Isobel Knowles' own personal flight over the handlebars, and that universally relatable feeling of imminent injury. Those of you also familiar with Fed Square and the usually average stuff screening down there will be happy to learn that this is definitely not average, and you should probably work it into your October at least once.</span>"<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">About Isobel Knowles</span><br />Isobel's multidisciplinary practice encompasses animation, music video, installation, visual art, film soundtracks and music.

Instead of taking Dorothy to Oz, Soda_Jerk have made a remix where the twister transports Dorothy two decades into the future. Here, she encounters an older, washed up Judy Garland. This encounter lays bare the capacity for film to magically propel us through time, producing a scenario that is both melancholic and full of wonder.</div></div><div><br />Soda_Jerk (Dan & Dominique Angeloro) are Sydney-based artists who work exclusively with found footage. Their hour-long narrative video remix <span style="font-style: italic;">Pixel Pirate II: Attack of the Astro Elvis Video Clone</span>' engages a critique of intellectual property law, and since its launch at the AGNSW, Sydney, has screened internationally in the Czech Republic, Germany, Scotland, the Netherlands, Mexico and India.<br /><br />Their Australian remix <span style="font-style: italic;">Picnic at Wolf Creek</span> (2006) was included in the 16th Video Brasil Festival, Brazil and won the Recycled Cinema Award at the 2007 Sydney Underground Film Festival. In 2008, Soda_Jerk exhibited their 3-channel video installation <span style="font-style: italic;">Astro Black: A History of Hip-Hop (Episodes 0-2)</span> in Primavera at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. This ongoing episodic work mixes documentary and science-fiction in an investigation of the temporal politics of Afrofuturism.<br /><br />Soda_Jerk also recently received an Australia Council for the Visual Arts grant to attend the 6th Orphan Film Symposium, New York, and were selected for a 2-month Asialink studio residency in Bangalore, India.

There is no dialogue, just natural, ambient sounds. Continuing Kotoe’s long-held investigations into the physical effect of repressed emotions on the body, <i>Green Thumb</i> sees a series of repeated actions/movements in public space. Specifically, the video features Kotoe’s own thumb, shot in close-up, inserting itself into various holes in the urban landscape. As she does this, plants and trees sprout from the holes.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /><object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10708393&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=10708393&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); "><b><span style="font-style: italic; ">Green Thumb</span><br />5:30pm to 6:30pm every Thursday, through April</b></div><div style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); "><b>On the Big Screen at Federation Square<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></b></div><span style="font-weight: bold; ">Artist’s Statement</span><br /><i>Inspired by the story Tistou les pouces verts (Tistou the Green Thumbs) by Mourice Druon, Green Thumbs sees a grown woman inserting her thumb into various holes and cracks in her domestic and urban environment.
