...well I hope so anyway!With only three weeks exactly to the opening of my exhibition "At The End Of The Day" I am reflecting on the fact that the entire preparation for it has been done via the internet.All of the negotiations with the gallery, the festival organisers, the speakers, the printer and the audience has occurred via the world of microwaves loaded with information and I am marvelling at the vastness of the opportunities it presents me with...The proposition that I am making with the work in my show is that each of us must travel to some point in our lives where the realisation of who we are, what we want and where we are going stops us in our tracks and it is often the connections that we make that can affect us for good or not and influence where we end up.It has been the theory of the "interconnectedness of all things" that Douglas Adams espoused in his classic "The Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy" that has impacted on my way of thinking since I first read that hilarious tome...So it is with "The Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy" firmly in mind that I have enlisted some of the brightest new talent on the digital scene in Tolmie McCrae , Seamus Aboud-Hogben and Margaret Burns (aka Ellen Disaster) to help me to do a live streaming broadcast, twitter and instagram updates of the actual opening event of the show.We hope to create a situation where the people who can't make it to the exhibition because they are not in Sydney or they have other commitments that evening can all participate in a virtual way... kind of like the gallery as holodeck really...Speaking of holodecks and virtual worlds some of my favourite rappers, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre have created what I wanted the National Art School to back me to do several years ago...that is to create a hologram of a performance... in their case they have revived Tupac,... All I can say is my admiration for Snoop is even greater than it has ever been...His first visit to Australia took him straight from his flight to "The Block" in Redfern where he paid respect to the original people of Australia...Todays photo is of Snoop Dogg at the "Block" in Redfern in Sydney... and if you look carefully you will see Anthony Mundine in the background being as awestruck as everyone in that room that day was!
