SOOB - Straight Out Of Brisbane Festival. Brisbane, Australia, December 2003. one ace servediscourses with the subconscious   anton nguyen - text and video | cattram nguyen - text and video one ace serve draws on the oldest projective test used by psychologists to analyse personality. word-association tests, originally developed by carl jung, see a tester giving a list of stimulus words to the subject, who must then respond with any word they feel is associated with the original stimulus. unusual responses and response latencies indicate underlying issues in the subject. by transferring a list of associated words to the context of neopoetry, anton and his sister cattram highlight a significant new use of language. traditionally developed to communicate between people in a clear and coherent manner, language is now also used as an abstracted psychological tool to delve into and communicate with one's inner, subconscious self. there is no audio on this track.

SOOB - Straight Out Of Brisbane Festival. Brisbane, Australia, December 2003. sky noise polaroidswhere are we when we are on the fone?   jean poole - text and video | various - text and video sky noise polaroids employed an innovative script writing process, whereby the theme of the video directly affected the production method. video artists around the world were invited to contribute to the work by producing a 1min clip, shot on a rooftop, that responded to the question, 'where are we when we are on the fone?'. to aid narrative construction, filmmakers were required to include a mobile phone call of some sort, and if possible to illustrate the particular city via the background cityscape. the resultant pastiche explores issues surrounding our science fiction reality. communication technologies have not only produced new communities via global networks, they have also altered our ontological experience of the world. who knows where we are while on a phone call - our voice simultaneously crawls rooftops, satellites, and submarine networks, to finally arrive in the ear and mind of our listener.

james reid - text | joel harmsworth - video director james reid's abstract, action-scripted poetry - eg "for(i = my.first; i< my.last; i = i + time.past)" - was interpreted by joel harmsworth, the video designer, as a form of extraterrestrial communication. the video and music thus became a short sci-fi flic. interplanetary telecommunication broadcasts beam images to earth of space seeds floating on a distant planet. miniature sets were used to recreate the fantastic landscapes. a theremin was incorporated into the music to suggest a '50s sci-fi film soundtrack. james's original piece of code poetry is available on the DVD.

SOOB - Straight Out Of Brisbane Festival. Brisbane, Australia, December 2003. soula working system of visual semantics   chris parkinson - text | tim neumann - video | hagus - audio tim neumann has attempted to create a form of video that is more analogous to the structure of poetry. trying to evoke the same experience one receives from poetry, he has referred to the physical elements of poetry: words, spaces, phrases, as well as colour, tone, emotion and rhythm. tim developed a formal working system of processes and visual semantics for interpreting chris parkinson's poem with video. he broke down each phrase of text to a 'scene', interpreted each word as an individual symbol, and then animated these into separate video scenes. the animated sequences are designed to introduce each 'visual object' while taking into account their relationship to one another, as well as the movement from one scene to another. the video is edited in the rhythm of the poem, with the spacing of phrases, the tone and colour of the language infused within the clip. soul_info.gif 49K Screenings

Scott Baker's collage of broadcast samples positions viewers as channel-surfing emergent authors of decomposed disinformation.

Brisbane, Australia, December 2003. melbourne through the eyes of voltron 2.0the voice of AI   jesse barrett - text, video and audio the default computer voices native to leading operating systems can be found in most genres of contemporary music and as sound effects in films and radio. though some might claim that the use of these generic artificial voices (and the identities associated with them - 'vicky', 'bruce', 'agnes', 'trinoids', 'deranged') is overdone, their popularity remains unquestionable. this video employs one such voice as an artificial intelligence narrating a documentary about alien, fantasy creatures (composed from photographs of melbourne architecture). the clip uses this genre of artificial speech (and its non-human language flourishes) to elicit the same emotions that trigger our anthropomorphic tendencies - a skill particular to humanity that allows us to 'see things differently'.
