Personal Navigation Assistant
Exhibition at TCB in October.
Personal Navigation Assistant is a group exhibition showcasing video works by 4 local and International artists. The exhibition was constructed with the Internet in mind, whereby the artists use it as a resource as well as a self-referential means to exhibit artwork.
The artists bring together a range of collected material from advertisements, Podcasts, You Tube clips, and VHS footage to create animated GIF’s, and online assemblages.
Addressing a variety of themes including a love of motorbikes, Internet induced anxiety, the numinous presence of objects, and issues of copyright. The Artists in Personal Navigation Assistant make light of popular culture, whilst highlighting the way we navigate the ‘real’ world via the www.
The exhibition features the work of Sydney artist The Wrath of Zod, Melbourne based artists Alexander Ouchtomsky, Thomas Charlton, and Eilis McDonald, from Dublin, Ireland.

Home on the Wave
Derry Sheehan (Tooth & Claw) and I are collaborating on a film clip for Home on the Wave. A recently released track by Love Connection and Pets with Pets.
We are using Super 8 and underwater footage. I’ve been using the super 8 film to do scratch animation. Inspired by these folks Broadcast and the focus group.
Here are some photos of the film shoot. Keep an eye out as the clip will be here soon.
