I am a writer/researcher and have worked as a curator of various institutional and artist-run film, video and new media projects and festivals in Australia for eight years. I am currently an MA student in Film Studies at the University of Amsterdam, where I will be exploring the application of neuroscientific, psychoanalytic and contemporary affect theories to the moving image and new media. I am also Curatorial Consultant to MAAP Multimedia Art Asia Pacific, a non-profit project hub dedicated to the critical research, exhibition and promotion of media art and artists from the region.
Recent projects include Video Ground, a 2008 MAAP touring program of video art from Australia and Aotearoa / New Zealand experimenting with narrative, spatial and historical accounts of place. While at the Australian Cinematheque / Gallery of Modern Art I co-curated The Leisure Class, an exhibition of contemporary video art and film engaging with lifestyle politics and the theories of conspicuous leisure, consumption and waste set out in American economist Thorstein Veblen’s early critique of consumerism, ‘The theory of the Leisure Class’ (1917). I still call This Is Not Art home.
