Artist Statement

In association with the Australian Film Commission. Projected animation from a video laser disk covers an entire wall within the space and is controlled via a small touch screen interface. Many of the objects in the installation relate in some way to the video sequences. There is no start or end to the work; as the user progresses, the software ‘learns’ about which areas the user is exploring and responds with inter-related options. Produced in association with the Australian Film Commission.
