Catalog essay extract:
"The portmanteau ‘transpondence’ is intended to transcend its raw sub-form elements and portray this merge as a tool – a tool for expression, as one would a drill or a hammer, a feather or a sword, hence it’s pre-occupation with terms of disposition rather than actions – medium as it were over fundamental subjective matter. The refuse of adjuncts and half words, multi-faceted synonyms, reverberated contexts, tonal and atonal nuance, apparatuses that traverse segues of definition all impact how ethereal or literal its interpretation is perceived. It is an invitation to respond, to replay, to negotiate an answer, to ping pong and to use any means present or assigned to do so..."
I curated and produced this project across 2 venues in Melbourne city in September 2014. The group exhibition queries the implementation of technology in a range of Fine Art practices through works in new media, kinetic artworks, photography, video, collage and scultptural works. Many of the artists featured appropriate technologies in innovative ways and often against convention. All the exhibiting artists have completed or were completing at the time post-graduate degrees by research in Fine Art at the Victorian College of the Arts.
