Some interactive art projects from around the world related to play and balls: Research for The Ball Room

POD (by UK artists Alison Ballard and Mike Blow) is an interactive sound installation that allows viewers to experience the physical life of sound waves through the skins of two, six-foot-tall inflatable spheres.

The RedBall Project by Kurt Perschke

Red Paper Heart art studio filled a full sized swimming pool with 65000 ping pong balls.

"It is a child's playground, constructed for adults. This weekend Tate Modern is recreating its 1971 installation Bodyspacemotionthings, which was shut after four days because, newspapers reported, visitors "went bloody mad" and began "jumping and screaming" around the exhibit."

finding jellyfish

some jellyfish inspired experiments for the design of the launch of VOID LOVE at the Speigletent.

The event was quite the pink bollywood bonanza, featuring video, live links, the Bombay Royale, Jess Cornelius and the one and only Kamahl. And suitably sold out!

Void Love

There is an exciting new art being made by Willoh S Weiland and Nicky Forster called Void Love. They've been in residency working with the Astrophysics department at Swinburne University and the product will be an amazing soap opera dealing with the big bang, dark matter and all things cosmology-like. It stars the one and only Kamahl, some pale people and body parts. Very Fun!

True Live "Something To Be"

I did the art direction and location scouting for this clip recently, directed by Dan Koerner and produced by Virginia Kay. It was filmed at an old textile factory and we had a tonne of recycled water brought in for the big splash scene.
Check it out here.

Some missing images of old work..

A picture I took of Strange Fruit performing in Spain. I did duplicate costumes for this show, Field in 2007.


Still from the 2006 TZU video clip, In Front, directed by Anto Skene. I did the production design.


Still from the 2006 Tex'n'Tim video clip, Everybody Hates You When You're Popular, directed by Anto Skene. I worked on art department.

Some interesting spaces I looked at while location scouting for an upcoming clip.

Pentouse Mouse 09

Penthouse Mouse delivered a new program of fashion/art events during the fashion festival. Set in the old roller-skating rink, now derelict, that I, incidently, had my 7th birthday party at...



Some great art pieces amongst the fashionista's, including a ride-on drawing machine, and these great cut objects by Robbie Rowlands.



On-the-side fashion-in-black at the mid mouse runway show, featuring some great designers. Must say, watching those watching was just as interesting to me. It's a weird thing, runway shows, with everyone pulling their pout and waiting to be snapped up, nonchalantly, as the next big thing. It does permeate though, even I felt the every-second oscillation from feeling fabulous to awkward and spent. ha ha

puppets, rock bang, hazmats and cakes

some recent projects I've been working on:

making fake cakes... Art Director on Daniel Koerner's upcoming film 'If I Dance will it Keep me Warm'


dancin the go go... Dancer in the 'Rock Bang' video clip for Die Roten Punkte, choreography by the lovely Anna


making Hazmat suits... Production designer for TZU 'Mondays' video clip, directed by Anto Skene


making puppets with the kids... A creative arts program I just completed at a primary school for The Song Room

cloud wheel

This was a little test I made thinking about how I might redesign old-school games for adults. Jigsaw puzzles, those rotating cards to match different faces etc coupled with adult play images. The cloud I had left over from the exhibition, so just seeing how it might work...

Monkey Magic

Initially I made some costumes for this wonderfully tacky production of Monkey Magic, part of the 2008 Fringe Festival. Then got pulled in to play Yellow Demon's wife. It's been heaps of fun actually - definitely a while since I've had to learn lines though! The live band do a great score to the staged episode and Yellow Demon is especially hilarious.
