Electrofringe

We’re rolling towards the festival which starts in a month. The first batch of artists for the 2009 festival have been announced, and it’s all very exciting. Coming to the festival this year are ILIOS (Greece), Rosy Parlane (NZ), Ensemble Offspring, Pimmon, John Kilduff (US), S.W.A.M.P. (US), Jim Cuomo (US), Tom Hall, and Christian Haines.

Here is our lovely new ad designed by Isis and Pluto, which you will also find in the current issue of RealTime

This coming Monday 13th April 2009, a special selection of works from the 2008 Electro-Projections program will be screened before an unsuspecting audience at Serial Space in Chippendale, as part of the return of Camera Obscura – Sydney’s premiere evening of moving image curiosities and other wonderful things…

The program will be followed by a screening of Victor Sjöström’s classic silent horror film from 1921 “The Phantom Carriage”, featuring a new soundtrack recorded by dark wave noise meisters KTL (Stephen O’Malley of SUNN O))) & Peter ‘Pita’ Rehberg). What a perfect way to cap off the Easter long weekend!

It all goes down this Monday, the 13th of April, starting from 19:00 at Serial Space – 33 Wellington Street, Chippendale, Sydney (map) . It’ll finish around 22:00, which is plenty of time to be in bed on a school night! For more information on Camera Obscura, drop a line tocameraobscura.syd@gmail.com

Press release announcements for the 2009 Ars Electronica awards have just filtered into inboxes throughout the world.

The list of names for 2009 awardees includes Joyce Hinterding and David Haines who receive an Award of Distinction in the Hybrid Art category for their work EarthStar, and Chunky Move (with Damien Cooper, Robin Fox , Paula Levis, Gideon Obarzanek, Ben Frost and Frieder Weiss) receiving an Honorary Mention also in the Hybrid Art category for Mortal Engine.

Congrats and all that…
