Dominic Redfern

Redfern works within the tradition of performative video art, often depicting myself alone, in private spaces, caught in some unresolved narrative of threat and precariousness. Redfern's work operates in the gap between self-portraiture, fiction and document to draw audiences’ attention to the artifice of screen language.

Philip Samartzis

Philip Samartzis is one busy and motivated man. If he's not in Australia performing with local and international musicians, currating sound events, making records or wondering various environments for field recordings, then you can probably find him in Germany or Japan doing the same things and more. All this jet setting has done wonders in creating and nurturing international collaborations and with another trip to Japan looming, there's no doubt the possibilities will continue to flourish.
