Search engine filters mimic the politics of the school-yard. The voices of the well-liked resound through passages and fill empty pages; identifying trends, dictating meaning, silencing difference. Concrete Air navigates the unwatched footage of the individual YouTube user by using both date and time as a method of filtration amid the chaos of uncirculated sermons, Vlogs, UFO sightings, Indian sitcoms, confessionals, infomercials, conspiracy theories, unboxings, virtual world commentaries, spam filters & ad blockers. Concrete Air results in a labyrinth of pixels, devoid of narrative and subject, offering the search engine outcasts a seat at the proverbial table.

Overview

PLAY (2014-2019) was a continuously programmed online gallery that presented single channel video art by national and international artists to audiences throughout Australia and the world.

This program takes place on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded - this land is stolen land. We pay respects to Wurundjeri Elders, past, present and emerging, to the Elders from other communities and to any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who might encounter or participate in the program.
