Clocked Out Duo (Vanessa Tomlinson ? percussion, Erik Griswold - piano) use traditional and modified instruments alongside a bewildering array of toys, found objects, junk and sound sculptures to create carefully designed sonic, visual and theatrical experiences. Their totally unique, idiosyncratic style embraces a wide variety of influences including American Experimentalism, Free Improvisation, European Avant-Garde, Jazz, Fluxus, Minimalism, Chinese percussion, Folk Music and Street Sounds. "Unlike some avant-artists that apply gadgets and gimmicks to standards, Clocked Out material is blanketed in a vibe all its own" - Brian Turner, WFMU (USA)
Archimedia is a research and design collective examining the overlap between media, architecture and public space. David Cox is a filmmaker, lecturer and digital media artist. Molly Hankwitz is a writer, filmmaker and media artist. For Small Black Box Archimedia presents ?Lost Cities Redux: Homage to Baghdad?, an outdoor [weather permitting] dual screen projection culture jam which contests the audio-visual boundaries and edges of contemporary urban space from within the clues of modern popular cinema. From a rich soundscape of cinematic samples, Archimedia cracks the attack on Iraq and other developments of recent global history using cinema's secret codes and intertextuality.
Luke Jaaniste is a Brisbane-based artist working in the fields of sound, installation, performance, public art and curation. This Small Black Box he debuts "Infinity Space" - an immersive sonic-visual-spatial installation performance for eight TVs, eight live video cameras and one body, in an intricate web of live audio-visual feedback. From the artist: ?A real-time feedback system using live video feeds, televisions... glowing in the dark. A room of eerie squeals and body fragments. A series of images within images, sounds within sounds, time within time.? Luke is a co-director of national composers group COMPOST and is a PhD candidate at QUT Creative Industries, where he is investigating inter-disciplinary art practices.
