Drawing from the work of David Rokeby, The Musicians is an early prototype, interactive artwork that utilizes cinematography and sound to engage audiences via invisible touch pads. Users are encouraged to play notes or compose music by directing the two professional musicians as they jam filmically, the audience members directly impacting the artwork via their movements.
The aesthetic aim of The Musicians is to visualize the emotional influence the audience members have over the characters onscreen. Amidst witty commentary and pre-programmed repertoires, the musicians play to draw audience members into the museum space and then attempt to hold their attention by empowering the user with the ability to direct their activities. These ‘behaviours’ suggest a more human exchange is possible in the relationship between viewers and technological art. This is technically accomplished by first filming the actors, then implementing state of the art editing and interface systems to create a smooth junction between the art system and the end user."

You are invited to the dual opening of two great new shows, Julian Meagher and Sam Smith, on this Thursday 28 June at Chalk Horse, 56 Cooper St, Surry Hills from 6pm to 8pm.
The main gallery space will feature Julian Meagher, whose work challenges the notion of personality by addressing the relationship between the internal and external workings of the body. Julian draws on the field of medical imaging to explore the ways that the body is depicted. Trained both as a doctor and in classical oil-on-canvas portraiture in Australia and Italy, his work has evolved to include oil paintings on X-Rays and Bone Scans.
The project space will feature Sam Smith, an audio and video artist who exploits the conventions of video, sculpture, photography and sound (both live and recorded). He takes electronic, physical and bodily exchanges and forms looping structures, time jumps, and technological distortions. Smith's live sound explores the intersection of treated or untreated
improvisational piano with electronics, moving from melody to aggressively processed sound.
Both shows will be running until the 22nd July.
