DJ BC - Sonja Hindrum
Step into the exclusive DJ room and be a DJ on the BC turntables. Simply touching the BC disk will create a unique sound. The BC is Bacterial Cellulose, a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast) from Kombucha.
A God Awful Mess - Tom O’Hern
Tom will create a giant, sprawling drawing that will slowly devour the wall. Equally beautiful and ugly, the work will spread like feral weeds or a computer virus. You will have the pleasure of living inside Tom’s head for a night.
Stormy Night - Brandon Meyer
An immersive all-ages experience linking sound to colour. Set in a dark, moody lounge room with a single instrument as the focus point, Stormy Night is tactile and intuitive. Come in, sit down, have a play and don’t forget to look up.
Breath - Grace Roberts
Breath explores the ephemeral nature of performance and encountering art. Through utilising some of your biometric data, Grace Roberts (IO Performance) creates a performance experience unique to you. Feel your internal rhythm, breathe, be, and be entertained by a never-to-be-repeated individualised version of Breath, just for you.
Soliloquy - RANT
Building on the success of the Soliloquy projection project onto Chalmers Church at Junction 2019, RANT returns in 2021 with a second version featuring a new group of young emerging artists aged 18-30. Soliloquy combines digital art, music, projection, literary narrative and spoken word and will once again be projected onto the facade of Chalmers Church.
Dear Tree - Rose Turtle Ertler
Melt into the earthiness of a tree! Nestled under an old oak tree, this intimate listening experience focuses on the role of nature in our lives. Featuring a collection of local voices speaking dearly to trees, this short intense experience is a mesmerising celebration of the nature that surrounds us.
Sunset Sisters - Bianca Templar & Jasmine Mansell
