BIOGRAPHIES
Wade Marynowsky
Wade is a Sydney based media artist working in audio-visual performance,
installation, music and video. Since 1998 Wade has exhibited and performed
extensively. Recent highlights include his installation Autonomous
Improvistation v1 at Artspace Sydney, 2007,the demux launch
at the
Performance space, Sydney 2007, performing performing at Nuit
Blanche, Toronto, Canada and performing Apocalypse Later at ISEA2004,
(whilst cruising the Baltic Sea). Wade performs under many aliases such
as Marynowsky, The pink gimp, The_Geek_From_Swampy_Creek, AC-3P and Spanky.
In his performances he uses custom-built software for live audio-visual
processing often exploring the tension between his wet and dry AV transformations.
Wade started demux with Peter Newman in 2006 with the assistance of the
Australia Council for the Arts
Music Board. www.marynowsky.net
Peter Newman
Peter is a musician and time-based artist living in Sydney. He composes
highly textural sound-driven audiovisual works for live performance, installation
and screening/playback. These works explore the musical qualities of composed
sound in a symbiotic relationship with moving image, often in a multi-speaker,
multi-screen environment. His music is concerned with drawing a sense of
musicality from non-musical sources, such as field recordings and sound
captured from video. In a performance context, he utilises a software-based
framework for structured improvisation, which he has been developing for
several years. He has performed and exhibited widely within Australia for
the last four years.
Andrew Gadow
Andrew is a Western Sydney based artist working in the realms of time based media. He has exhibited and performed both nationally and internationally over the past 7 years. His work can also be seen in private collections throughout Australia. Andrew also forms part of the duo P.A. with fellow artist Phil Williams. Andrew’s work takes its basis in the representation of time-based mediums of sound and video, specifically the technologies involved in, and the electronic languages related to the representation of these mediums. Creating abstract imagery directly related to the glitches, whirrs, whoops and buzzes of audio, Andrew’s work has become renowned for its synasthetic behavior.
Samuel Bruce
Samuel creates generative audio-visual works using the open source softwares, Processing and Pure Data. These semi autonomous software structures are presented variously in video, performance and installation contexts. He is interested in the interaction of complex systems, observed in and around himself, and reflects them as abstract digital processes. Current work makes use of physics simulation to create virtual structures whose motion is mapped into image and sound. He has exhibited as part of the group Dysfunctional Feed, in group shows at Blacktown Arts Centre and Rocketart, Newcastle, and in 2006 had his first solo exhibition at Pelt Gallery.
