Three exhibition

Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts PICA, Perth

Are You Talking to Me? In conversation with...
Arif Satar (WA), Sam Landells (WA) and Mammad Aidani (VIC)
interactive sound and video installation
Following September 2001 and the Federal Government's response to Asylum Seekers, Arif Satar has received a number of abusive phone calls. During that period Arif was also researching the experiences of asylum seekers - primarily Islamic groups - and found that many people had also received abusive phone calls. These may have been random acts or they may have been part of something more organised and sinister.

Are You Talking to Me? In conversation with..., is an artistic response to the notion of language as the theory of action. The exhibition overlays aesthetic principles with those of reversal, subversion, interruption and discontinuity of language and speech. The artists criss-cross artistic boundaries using writing, sculpture and digital media to create an environment that questions not only who is speaking, how and to whom, but also who is listening and making meaning, to ask in conversation, "Are You Talking to Me"?

Elastic : six digital artworks curated by Keely Macarow and Meredith Martin
Artists: Anita Bacic, Lisa Gye, sue.k., John Power, Paul Rodgers and Philip Samartzis

Elastic fuses materiality with the spectacle, and the glitch with the cerebral. Could it be that the 1970s is coming back to haunt us? In sampling the works of six film and video artists, Elastic presents digital video art as an expansive and 'elastic' field which is constantly reconfiguring and re-mediating the materials and ideas with which it comes into contact.

Drift
curated by Bec Dean
This group exhibition explores the work of artists that reference the impact of everyday and intrusive technologies on awareness and the body in social space. The surveillance-conscious work of performance company pvi collective, together with the optical and illusory structural installation of Natasha Johns-Messenger and the high-velocity digital video of Matt Hunt are just some of the artists whose work will be included in Drift. Issues of dislocation, intrusion, remoteness, speed, privacy and fragmentation are variously investigated through a range of media.
