EVENTS / PROJECTS
Incredibly grateful to be named a finalist in this year’s The Lumen Prize @lumen_prize for my video Until It Breaks in the 2024 Moving Image Award category. You can watch my film here.
The animated video piece 'Until it Breaks' is a statement on the fragility of digital existence and a metaphorical allusion to the precariousness and entropy of many aspects of human experience: such as relationships, physical bodies, material objects, and so on. A reminder of the ephemeral nature of existence. Thirteen original digital image files have been converted to audio files and then progressively altered (databent) using Audacity Software, until a file version eventually becomes unopenable/unusable.
October 18—19, 2024 - Vancouver, Canada @ The Lido 518 E. Broadway
Festival Schedule here
My short film '2004', 2023 will be playing as part of Series 3 'Space time Revolution on Sat Oct 19.
The Small File Media Festival was founded in 2020 to raise awareness of the high carbon footprint of streaming media. The festival proposes alternative solutions for media practice, as well as modes of thinking otherwise in media theory, which converged in an online festival of sustainable experimental media organized annually.

Multi-disciplinary artists, Naomi Ullmann and Naomi Oliver employ a combination of old and new technologies to explore the corruption of data flow, commonly referred to as a glitch. The work is the result of a long-term and ongoing collaboration that focuses upon fate, chance and technology gone awry. Glitch is a visually compelling exhibition that is both challenging and thought-provoking.
