Every now and then I do another one of these J-Pop intro loop songs. I keep meaning to put together another album of them called Second Best of J-Pop.

The rest of J-pop
Sunday, August 23rd, 20152012 / Dialogues
Tuesday, August 18th, 2015I was going through earlier work, and was pleased to all the work I had made in 2012, in my second year of University. most of those things I’d never posted here, I assume because some I never finished properly (a series of clay heads), and some I thought were too personal (the Dialogues). I made a lot that year. Also a lot of drawings/rubbings, wood carving, and the performances I, at the time, called Monologues (they were made after these Dialogues).
I’ve made a web site for the Dialogues, and I might make a general 2012 one to link all those works together.

A tentative step into combining webpages/text/games.
Might move some of the text to appear below the embed.

28 Leeds Street
Monday, June 22nd, 2015Hi blog. Me and Erin have started a gallery/space in our lounge.
Our first event is this Saturday:
We’re charging $50 a week for shows, and of course less if you only want to do a one day/night thing, or 3 days, or whatever. I’ll probably do some workshops there too.
Found media drawings
Wednesday, March 25th, 2015
I made these drawings as a little project to help me take a break from working on the computer, and to make something of the job I’ve found myself in. I’m working as a cleaner in a high school, and they’re all made with things I’ve found in the bins, or on the ground. So every day I’d come home and make a drawing with what I’d found.
The yellow one’s actually done with highlighter, but it doesn’t scan so well.
I might write some more thoughts later, but I have to get to work.

Voidscapes
Monday, November 17th, 2014One of my games was mentioned in this article on ‘voidscapes’:

Voids have always existed around videogames. It’s the negative space that you can sometimes accidentally fall into and watch as the polygons you once walked on disappear. A void is that endless, omnipresent outside part of videogames where nothing happens and nothing exists. Voids are the largest part of videogame spaces but it’s always the bit that’s covered up like a crime scene. So what’s a “voidscape,” then?

One of the most meaningful videogame dioramas I’ve played is Rylie Thomas’s The Milkmaid, which turns Johannes Vermeer’s 17th century oil-on-canvas painting “The Milkmaid” into a climbing frame for us to investigate. Thomas uses a videogame as a tool for us to engage in a close examination of a blown up art asset, revealing its garish textures and even the very slightest of its contours. You end up getting more intimate with an in-game asset than you probably have before just because it’s the only thing that you can focus on other than the surrounding void.
