The Games Studio at UTS, housed in the Faculty of Engineering and IT and
in association with the Creativity and Cognition Studios, is one of the
partners hosting the Australian International Animation Festival,
screening across 4 venues at UTS on October 17 and 18, 2008. This year’s
program was selected from more than 2,000 submissions and 30 countries
- a remarkable response from filmmakers and producers around the world.
The range of styles, genres and techniques is testament to the vibrancy
and relevance of creative animation. Festival organisers have worked
hard to try and reflect that incredible diversity in their final
selections and to bring a true snapshot of the inspiring international
animation scene to the big screen. More

Performances
PORT HACKING
by Ernest Edmonds and Mark Fell
Port Hacking is a generative audio-visual performance work first performed at Sparks: the launch event of the Creativity and Cognition Studios in Sydney, November 2003.
DC_RELEASE
by Ernest Edmonds and Mark Fell
DC_Release is a generative audio-visual performance work presented for
the first time in Australia. The first performance was in the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC, April 2007.
BIOGRAPHIES
Ernest Edmonds
works in the constructivist tradition and first used computers in his
art practice in 1968. He was also a pioneer in the de- velopment of
practice-based PhD programmes in art and technology in he UK. His work
is concerned with color and minimal forms, particularly in the context
of time and interaction. He first showed an interactive ork with
Stroud Cornock in 1970 and first showed a generative video piece in
1985. He has exhibited throughout the world, from Moscow to LA. Artists
Bookworks recently published his book “On New Constructs in Art”. He is
Editor-in-Chief of the Leonardo Journal’s Transactions, which publishes
high-quality original reports on new developments in art and
technology. He is an invited contributor to the digital art exhibition
“Speculative Data and the Creative Imaginary” to be held at the
National Academies of Sciences Gallery, Washington DC, June-August
2007. Ernest Edmonds is Professor of Computation and Creative Media at
the University of Technology, Sydney Australia, where he runs a
multi-disciplinary practice-based art and technology research group,
the Creativity and Cognition Studios.
Mark Fell
is an inter-disciplinary artist and curator living and working in
Sheffield,UK. His work explores new technologies, sound, image and
interaction, bringing together an interest in electronic musics,
contemporary art, avant-garde practice, contemporary philosophies of
language and computer science. Fell has performed and exhib- ited
extensively at many major international festivals and institu- tions
including Sonar (Barcelona), Mutek (Montreal), Siggraph (Los Angeles),
Powerhouse (Sydney), ACMI (Melbourne), ISEA (Paris), Hong Kong National
Film Archive, The Barbican (London), Schirn (Frankfurt), Volksbuhne
(Berlin), Liquid Room (Tokyo). His published sound works quickly placed
him at the forefront of new digital musics with critically acclaimed
releases on Mille Plateaux (Frankfurt), Or (London), Line/12k (New
York), and raster-noton (Berlin). Fell also works as curator (including
Lovebytes Sheffi eld, Sightsonic York), computer programmer in digital
arts. Awards and nominations include Ars Electronica, Quartz award for
research in music, and Euro Asia foundation.
Guests
aa-cell
Andrew Brown and Andrew Sorensen
 aa-cell
are an Australian-based live coding duo - Andrew Brown and Andrew
Sorensen - who have been invited to perform around Australia and in
Europe and the USA. Their work involves semi-improvised musical
performances where they build the software for a piece during
performance from a blank slate using the Impromptu
environment. The music created by aa-cell includes elements of
electroacoustic sound art, minimalism and electronic dance music. In
these performances Sorensen and Brown explore emergent combinations of
various fundamental computational processes they have found to be
effective across a range of styles. These include probability, period
functions, set theory and a healthy dose of recursion. In the
tradition of improvisation, their works emerge anew at each performance
as aa-cel interact with each other, the audience, and the performance
context.
BIOGRAPHIES
Andrew Sorensen
is an independent software developer and an active performer and
composer of electronic music. Andrew has spent much of the past two
years focused on Live Coding performance practice working on the tools
and ideas that enable him to explore code as a medium for real-time
expression. Andrew is the author of the Impromptu audio/visual
programming environment.
Andrew Brown
is an Associate Professor in Computational Arts at the Queensland
University of Technology (QUT) and Research Manager at the Australasian
CRC for Interaction Design (ACID). Andrew's expertise is in
technologies that support creativity, algorithmic music and art, and
the philosophy of technology. His current research focuses on adaptive
media arts. He is an active computer musician and a builder of
software tools for dynamic digital content.
PARTIAL REFLECTIONS
Andrew Johnston and Benjamin Marks
 Partial Reflections
is an interactive performance in which live audio affects animated
virtual sculptures. The work exists as a composed work for solo
trombone, but also as an art installation for public participation. The
performance presents a unique audio-visual composition in which
sounds and visuals merge to create a duet between the senses. The
installation provides a playful and creative environment in which
audiences can experience the sound of their voice transformed into
evocative patterns of movement and sound (see Spheres of Influence on the Beta_space
website). With practice, they may even be able to play the virtual
sculpture as if it were a musical instrument - an extension of the
voice.
BIOGRAPHIES
Andrew Johnston
has a background in both music and computing. As a trombonist, he has
performed professionally with many ensembles, including the Melbourne
and Sydney Symphony Orchestras, the Australian Opera and Ballet
Orchestra and many others. He also has experience and academic
qualifications in computing and is currently working as a Lecturer in
the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Technology
Sydney. Through works such as Spheres of Influence, he seeks to
combine his knowledge of the aesthetic, cultural and collaborative
practices of music with technical skills to produce well crafted and
artistically interesting artworks.
Benjamin Marks
is a composer and musician based in Brisbane. He is a member of ELISION
Ensemble and specializes in the performance of contemporary music,
including collaborations with visual artists (Keith Armstrong, Adam
Donovan) and free improvisation (Particle Moves, and with John Rogers
as part of TULP). Ben currently teaches trombone and runs various
ensembles at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music Griffith University
and also teaches trombone at the Queensland University of Technology.
He has lectured at Adelaide University and the Victorian College of
Arts.
