A Friday afternoon laneway party… who needs an excuse really? Come a celebrate the end of the working week in Fish Lane with food vans, music, live art performances and cold brews to keep you cool on a hot February afternoon.

THREE ARTISTS. THREE MEDIA. ONE WALL.
Part live performance, part projection mapping show, Phantom Feeling pushes live mural art far beyond the confines of the concrete.
Combining cutting edge projection mapping technology with live sound design and traditional spray paint, Phantom Feeling creates the illusion of a single artist painting in three mediums at once.

rattle. disrupt. disturb. shake. paint.

Digi Youth Art’s young people are partnering with Land Writers (Warraba Weatherall and Daniel Jones) and Mz Murri Cod (Libby Harward) to transform and activate the Queensland Museum, through the creation of two new works examining cultural heritage collections. This is the first project of unsettle: Digi Youth Art’s long term residency at the Queensland Museum where youth artists will carry out creative investigations into the cultural landscape of major arts institutions.
On these lands, painting on public spaces is no new concept. Street art, like many artforms, is another practice that continues the stories of one of the oldest surviving and thriving cultures in the world. unsettle provides an opportunity for established artists to mentor youth artists as they question, challenge and expose the colonial nature of cultural collections in galleries and museums. The works created will offer audiences new interpretations and observations of cultural heritage collections and provide opportunities for the wider community to speak one-on-one with the artists.

This is a portrait of a young man who has a desire for intimacy in a digital age. Societies’ widespread adoption of the internet has made computers the main platform for social interaction. He seeks to throw aside any digital interaction and reconnect with real life experiences but can’t help but find himself feeling left out and disconnected in an age where the internet and digital technology is rapidly transforming life, work and politics. He is trapped, relying on technology to connect with others but only finds the interactions feeling vacuous and empty. The work takes a critical look at the stance of the contemporary image and the internet. Showing fragmented, paper thin, cut out slices of physical materials and body digitally manipulated and assembled together, creating an exchange between the digital world and “real life”, the work aims to reflect the contemporary human experience and our relationships with digital technology. The outcome presenting a hyper coloured, perplexing mashup of digital and “real” and a closer look into our lives today in a techno-reliant world.

MÖBIUS + FUZEILLEAR
The first collaboration between Mobius Productions & Fuzeillear sees them projecting onto 25m walls within the Whale Room at the Queensland Museum. The intention of the motion works are to refract, not to reflect.

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.
