Dipnomorpha is a collaborative performance-based event between Zoe Porter, Exploko, Megan Janet White
(featuring members of Theatre of Thunder) and Matt Dabrowski & the Many Hands of Glamour. This cross-disciplinary performance explores the intersection between electronic sound, video projection, light installation, live drawing, costume and butoh dance. This work aims to cross the boundaries between the animal and the human in order to create a surreal and otherworldly zone that sits somewhere between reality and the imagination.
It is a site-specific work that presents part-human, part-monstrous creatures in a state of flux, as well as making reference to the Brisbane river. By drawing on fluid, organic forms and the native flora and fauna, in particular the Lungfish, the performers emerge as beings from depths of the river. This work conjures up an in-between space and dream-like environment where the audience is invited into a slow-motion, physically intense and dream-like state. Bodies and drawings amalgamate and surface from the sediment to present new hybrid forms that consider other ways of being or existing.
Project//proJECT is large scale projection work that will see a collection of animation artists create immersive visuals to bring the walls of the Whale Mall alive. Each night throughout the festival you will have a chance to be mesmerised by the hypnotic colours, shapes and forms that will bathe the walls of this amazing cavernous space.
Nightly projections curated by Dan Jones from Lazerface Productions.
Towards the second half of the festival many of the murals will be nearing completion so it’s a good reason to take a break and reflect on the colourful additions to the cityscape. Join the festival team and meet the artists for a rooftop drink overlooking the city.
There is a place that many know, a place few have seen. A place that many wish to discover and explore, where magic and mayhem coalesce to create a wonder that many say only exists in dreams. Some say it is a place that lives somewhere between this world and the next, a limbo not of lost souls but of found dreams. This place is where you come to find the one, or many as you step into an alternate yonder of sensory symphonies that render your fleshy being useless as your soul meets its true destiny.
A place for the enlightened beings who appreciate those moments where the mind tricks itself into an illusory state where sound becomes sight and sight becomes sound, this, my friend, is Yonder.
One day, one night of visually audible tactility under the beautifully crafted roof the Tivoli, located in the heart of all that is warm, wet and sensuous. Be careful what you wish for, Brisbane.
INFINITE DUSK is the second instalment of HHAARRPP and JNXYZ’s ongoing sonic-cinema project called INFINITE DREAMS, melding abstracted, mirrored landscape film with hypnotic quadraphonic electronica and vocal looping.
This is set to be an expansive, mesmerising experience for your whole body. Come early and score a comfy cushion on the floor of the Turbine Platform. Or experience this audio-visual sensation from one of the balconies.
HHAARRPP is the electronica project of sonic-spatial- social artist Luke Jaaniste who works on many solo projects as well as organisations including Super Critical Mass, Theatre of Thunder and Mesmerism Inc. JNXYZ
is moniker of mobile technologist, digital educator and visual image maker Jonathan Nalder. Their collaborations stretch back to uni days in the late 1990s, and most recently they have turned to the field of music-cinema.
At 1 DEGREE all artists will be within one degree of separation from the curator, then for 2 DEGREE each of these artists will in turn select an artist within one degree of separation of herself, creating an outwardly reaching network of female creative practices that span visual art, photography, performance, architecture, writing, graphic design and more.
1 DEGREE // 2 DEGREE will be accompanied by an exhibition catalogue that captures in their own words each artist’s experience of practicing in Brisbane.
Come along to hear, see, read, feel and support what Brisbane’s women have to offer.
Fragment | Meta is a distributed dance performance rebooted for the Z9 exterior. Combining a range of creative methodologies, and digital tools and processes Fragment| Meta alters the dancers’ morphologies through a site responsive layer within the choreographed work. The location functions as a series of potential inputs that impact upon the existing choreography. These inputs affect the sequence of movements, duration and impulses within the work. Fragment | Meta is an experimental and agile performance that draws on Boolean style statements of action and re-action thus offering a further scoring process for the dancers to continually shift and be directed by. Fragment | Meta seeks to enable the dancers to be agents within the space and for the site and audience to be intrinsic data-sets that the dancers mine as potential fields for movement innovations and disruptions.
