CCS hosted Steven Dow, who some of us met at CC07 in Washington. He gave an illustrated talk about his PhD work in AR at Georgia Tech in Atlanta (the home of hypertext in the 90s), that builds upon the Facade system. That evening he joined several of us at an invite only occasion at [...]

The survey of the Centre Pompidou’s collection reached Melbourne’s Australian Centre for the Moving Image at the end of March, following a run at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. On Sunday 25th at the invitation of curator Mike Stubbs, I contributed to an afternoon of exposition and discussion related to video art, presenting [...]
I don’t remember seeing Long Film for Ambient Light (1973) before…... but might have done…... it is a subtle work in terms of image and duration and therefore recalled with difficulty. For those of us like myself who often make time to savour the light as it happens, in a range of settings and at [...]
Dear Mike Leggett and Alastair Weakley,
The Gwangju Biennale has now closed and the computer equipment which constitutes the work has been returned to my home here in Canada. The weather data provided by the sensing device on the roof of the University of Sydney played a major roll in the editing of picture and sound [...]
I wrote a chapter for this recently published book about 18 months ago. In common with most of the other 30 odd contributors, using notes made for the production film and video artworks in Britain between the late 60s and mid 80s, I have reflected on that activity from the contemporary context.

From the website can be downloaded the application for setting up some tunable [...]

A notable trend of relevance to CCS researchers comes from the history war running for a decade now in film studies circles between hermeneutics [...]
