BROKE was a visual arts show that formed part of the 2008 Midsumma Festival. Artists: Andrew Atchison, Danielle Karalus, Marcus Keating, myself and Glenn Walls. Below are descriptions and examples of my 2 works:
A mirror is a direct copy of a data set. On the net, a mirror site is an exact copy of another site - widely used for software downloads. The DVDs in this installation are identical copies of the same disk, and contain free and open source software for both Mac and PC platforms. They are yours to take - courtesy of the free and open source software movement. There is no catch.
Social networking, video and photo sharing web sites are enabling a new era of cultural production. These sites, in combination with cheaper technology and free software are also radically changing the social landscape for the global GLBTI community, creating channels to disseminate our personal stories. Increasing numbers of young people are talking about their sexuality on personal blogs or through sites such as myspace and YouTube. These platforms are giving different modes of sexuality a voice and increased visibility.
