I recently teamed up with the guys running Reface to transform Perth for the Perth International Arts Festival. Over a series of nights Perth was subject to the brightest Projector Bombing to date. With eight Projectors bombarding numerous walls at once. Projected were a huge library of physical street art photos as well as interactive street art (tablet and infrared painting as well as GRL’s laser tag).
The Reface Project is the brain child of Perth Street arts group Ololo and production company WBMC. The Project website has brought together street art images from all over to be appreciated online and now also represented back in the street as Projected art.
Interactive Street art systems where operated by Steve Berrick and Myself. Many people had fun painting and drawing on the side of the very posh Duxton hotel, and Steve’s new virtual spray can (IR wiimote style) was a huge success.
Also on the 1st December 08, The super kitch cosmic smily face shone down on us all here in Australia. This cant be anything but awesomely good.
Photo op! my housemate moller and I, smile with the sky.
The three brightest celestial bodies (i think) re-arranged themselves so Jupiter and Venus were the eyes and a crescent moon the mouth. Sucked to be in New york on this night because instead of a happy face they got a upside down frown. lol
Monday 1st December 2008 Moller and I walked down the road for live drawing hosted by DrSketchy’s @ the brisbane hotel. I couldn’t find any of my “real” drawing gear so i dragged along my tablet pc instead. I don’t actual consider myself good at life drawing.. and as such its more about trying to be a little less shit than last time.
This is the first time Ive taken my tablet pc to a life drawing session. Its fast paced, so using a computer at times caught me off guard (turning the page is easier than creating a new file)… but the ablity to undo rocked as well having the fastest colour pallet, and biggest selection of brushes in the room
I suppose the real benefit of digital drawing is its easier to share in our web 2.0 world.

It’s always great to VJ at music Festivals and Stereosonic at the Claremont Show Grounds in Perth was no exception. Well organised and with a abundant supply of music lovers to soak up the vibes.
above: Short snippets of live visuals recorded on the day. The quality is not great but you really had to be there on the day… besides theres always next time.
In yet another win for the walls of Perth! Arts collective Ololo have joined forces with production company WBMC to do there own Street Projection project in Perth. Its called Re-Face and its funded by the New iArts Grant. They’ll be calling for artwork to be submitted. Hopefully you’ll all support them.
The site is not fully operational yet but a quick blurb is already in place.
which you can check out here… http://www.abc.net.au/tv/reface/
The Ololo collective are very active in the Perth Street art scene, in fact Ololo member and web guru Steve Berrick often lends a hand with street projecting. Hopefully we can make Perth the Electronic Street Art capital!
Ive been on Christmas Island doing a Video art Residency for the past 7 weeks….
so now that I’m back I’ve been able to upload the video from before I left.
This was in August…
I have photographed a few of my drawing books. Below is a link to the first one to be uploaded to the net and is also (to my memory) the first in the series. This Book was finished in 2003 whilst i was still studying art at uni.
