Commissioned this new work by sound artist Achim Wollsheid.
This work examined how the internet, as a site for interaction, dissolves convention with regard to the shape, boundary and structure of media. The artist produced an abstract graphical interface, via which participants were able to influence the parameters of a sound generator, effecting things like audio tone, density and complexity. The impact of those changes could be seen and heard by other participants visiting from other locations, who were also able to contribute to the real-time manipulation of the collaborative composition.

Curated a screening of work by video art pioneers, Steina and Woody Vasulka.
The Vasulka’s have contributed enormously to the evolution of moving-image aesthetics through a prolific body of work exploring the malleability of vision, the manipulation of electronic energy and the interrelation of sound and image.
The program highlighted the artists’ early collaborative efforts, produced from 1970 to 1974, which focused on phenomenological explorations that deconstruct the materiality of electronic signals. The screening was accompanied by an in conversation with the artists.
