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..."

This project was produced by myself and took place across 2 venues in Melbourne in September, 2014. The theme of the exhibition queries the implementation of technology in a range of Fine Art practices through works in new media, kinetic artworks, photography, video, collage and scultpture. Many of the featured artists appropriate technologies in innovative ways and often against convention. All the exhibiting artists have were selected from the post-graduate cohort and research faculties of Fine Art and Contemporary Art at the Victorian College of the Arts.
