"The creations of Stowards and Cotterell, although strikingly different
in approach, offer engaging interpretations of artistic practice.
Stowards achieves this by sharing his personal experience as an artist
with the public in a participatory artwork, and Cotterell by his
presentation of anonymous artworks which reject the contemporary art
conventions of artistic progression and statements of intent." Lucy Hawthorne-excerpt from review in RealTime magazine. Which can be viewed here

MAKING SPACE - VICTORIAN ARI EVENT 2007--Making Space is the first time artist-run-initiatives (ARIs) in Victoria have all worked collectively to launch a publication and program of exhibitions and activities. In light of this, Bus thought we’d encourage ARIs from outside of Victoria to join in. So…Downtown Art Space (Adelaide), Inflight ARI (Hobart) and Firstdraft (Sydney) come with curated exhibitions of work from their spaces – to be presented in ours. And…not leaving Victoria out of the event, Bus is presenting a show of Melbourne-based artists to complete the circle.

18.10.06 (VISUAL/PRESENTATION) Pecha Kucha : 20 slides, 20 seconds each slide, 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame. Room 11 , Hobart.
What is Pecha Kucha Night? ---- www.pecha-kucha.org/
Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham architecture), was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. (Admittedly, it was also a way to get more people to visit SuperDeluxe - their then newly opened multimedia event space in Tokyo). But as we all know, give a mike to a designer (especially an architect) and you'll be trapped for hours. The key to Pecha Kucha Night is its patented system for avoiding this fate. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show. Pecha Kucha (which is Japanese for the sound of conversation) has tapped into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown, without having to rent a gallery or chat up a magazine editor. This is a demand that seems to be global - as Pecha Kucha Night, without any pushing, has spread virally to over a dozen cities across the world.
Big thanks to all who attended, and the Room 11 crew for being such pleasant hosts.

' Fissure acts as a type of amplifier, drawing attention not only to the sound travelling within the tube but also visual attention to a normally insignificant feature of the rivulet bed. It's function is to conver the sounds of rushing water up to an easily audible apparatus on the bank through a simple transfer of energy; water making sound running through a cylinder ' -quote from catalogue text

03.02.06--24.02.06 *(VISUAL/INSTALL) THE LIFE DEATH OPPOSITIONAL . INFLIGHT Artist run initiative.
'The Life-death oppositional comprises the residue of two separate google image searches using the terms ‘life’ and ‘death’ as provocations.Partly as a response to recent realist photography, but also to do with setting parameters within a system in order to facilitate the creation of art; a kind of improvisatory structure, I conducted the two searches and chose only images that were photographic and only images that appeared in someway posed or constructed. The connection of photography to visual truth of an actual event is a core interest in this work.The images used now exist beyond the camera that may have created them; they are searchable database items, files on a cd, and now digital prints. I have retained no record of their origin.' -quote from catalogue text
The Life Death oppositional is an edition of 10. each edition contains 50 photographic images on fuji crystal archive paper, wrapped in felt and contained in an enamel painted black wooden box with engraved plaque. There are currently 8 editions remaining for purchase.

11/04/04.TIME AND SPACE DIED YESTERDAY; futurist reconstruction of the universe
Teatrum Anatomicum, Waag Society for New and Old Media. Amsterdam.connected performance via telephone between Sc in Hobart Tasmania and SisterO in Amsterdam. Audio generated by Custom Patches processed live by Sc, Movement reconstruction of 'Dancer in Blue' byNancy Mauro-Flude / http://sistero.sysx.org
concepts of teleportation, meetings in non-physical space with multiple physical manifestations and ritual performative connections fed a month of pre-performance email discussion resulting in a precarious but beautiful connection performed at Waag Society, Amsterdam .. SisterO enters a spotlit space, calls Scot, connection is made and an assistant takes the telephone and routes it thru the sound system, Scot begins to process imagining nancy moving, the performance lasts for five minutes and fades to silence.

03/2004 (performance/audio) Echo Chamber. Echo Chamber consists of four electret microphones modules and a contact microphone, a four channel mixer and a digitech rp-6 effects processor running a dual delay/reverb patch with live processing capabilities.// The system was primarily designed for MD/SM installation in Kelly's Garden, Salamanca, Hobart, Aus. in which three mics were located on the ground, one in a tree and the conact mic (capable of picking up vibrations) was attached to a four-flight steel stairwell...in this way the organic sounds within the space (wind, leaves, birds) were mixed with the sounds of habitation (direct and indirect audience input, mobile phone interference) and the transference of energy (wind, people climbing stairs) from the stairwell mic all became part of an evolving soundscape over which no one particualr person had complete control.
