Solo Exhibition of printed video stills from recorded VJ work. Melbourne, 2003 My practice as a VJ consisted of creating loops (a repeating section of visual material) from layers of still images which I programmed to work with certain sounds. Through mixing these loops in real time at 25 frames per second while synched to sound, I was in effect creating video. I noticed while in practice that certain image and word combinations would be generated autonomously, as though there was an unconscious collaboration with the technology I was using. This then became my aim - to not design the work as such but to allow the computer equal partnership in the development of the work.

This work was shown as part of a group exhibition in 12 churchs in the city of Novara, Italy. Based on a law of physics, the image was created using three mirrors. A mirror, by definition, reflects the light coming from an object and redirects that light to the human eye, giving the impression of an image. So when two mirrors face each other they reflect that light infinitely. If a third mirror is added, it reflects again that infinite relationship. In optical feedback (using a camera/monitor relationship), the original light source can be extinguished once the feedback has started and in the absence of friction or other interference, the light will continue to travel infinitely. The proposed concept was an installation consisting of a camera, monitor and mirror. However, the final execution was a large format print of a video still taken from the installation, installed horizontally on the floor of the Cathedral of San Gaudenzio.

Michel Serres the french philosopher stated that 'the world is ruled by flows—by turbulence, percolation, disorder, and uncertainty—rather than by linear progress or orderly systems'. But isn't it possible that those flows are ruled in turn by systems and linear progress? Which then of course are ruled by flows? The original videos in this set of work were created with a sound input. I deconstructed them by dramatically decreasing the tempo and resolution so that one is confronted with the 'gridding' - the orderly system that is creating the illusion of flow.
