Aaron Hull and Greg Hughes - Wollongong City Gallery Sept 4 2010.
An immersive surround sound and multi screen AV duo performance with sound and video artist Aaron Hull. The projects purpose is/was to seek practice-led knowledge via an emergent application of collaborative processes and creative backgrounds, interactive technology, traditional instruments, archival and pre-composed material to concepts of representation, trace, space, place, affect and memory.
Media, Matter and Memory: Process
As the deadline approaches boundless experimentation with footage, audio and code has, for me, moved toward a design approach of recognising relationships between structures and systems between the presentation medium (interface), media content (data) and contextual/ conceptual development. In other words, we have almost designed our instruments, now we need to learn how to play them. Mapping the systems and relationships has proved useful and productive.
Media, Matter and Memory (Performance and Exhibition)
Derived from an explanation of empiricism (Knowledge from sense experience), Deleuze says:
“I make, remake and unmake my concepts along a moving horizon, from an always decentred centre, from an always displaced periphery which repeats and differentiates them.” Difference and Repetition, xxi
What?
Two projects with differing formats of delivery and technique, yet shared contexts and preproduction processes:
Firstly, an immersive surround sound and multi screen AV duo performance with sound and video artist Aaron Hull. The outcome will include two deep-listening 5.1 surround sound and processed video 15min pieces.
Secondly, an exhibition that seeks to move video and sound away from popular notions of projected 2D viewing to a 3D realm of physical space, immersion and embodiment.
Seeking practice-led knowledge via an emergent application of collaborative processes and creative backgrounds, interactive technology, traditional instruments, archival and pre-composed material to concepts of representation, trace, space, place, affect and memory is a part of the projects purpose.
This collaboration could be considered work-in-progress as it is, for me, the working surface of a nascent PhD research project, however, the outcomes are sort to be resolved beyond featured progression. Aaron and I have initiated an ongoing partnership as a way to investigate and document the union and possible interdisciplinary approaches between graphic design and audiovisual art disciplines. Our mutual interests in convergent prototypic technologies, interaction design, motion design, audio production, digital video manipulation, time based art, kinetic sculpture and digital media curation have provided grounding for this collaborative practice-led research.

Review
Help!! Seeking some kind of post publication or peer review options to legitimise the project within the academy. Any tips?
