ACMI – Cinema 2

A droid (similar to RD2D) poses standing with their legs crossed over and their right hand lifted to the sky, similar to vogueing. They are in a complete white space standing on a podium.

ASSEMBLY

Queer PowerPoint

Fed Square – The Edge

A screen that shows a collage in the style Microsoft ClipArt featuring Julia Roberts looking to the right, a Roman statue, a patterned floor carpet (similar to one you'd find in a casino) and a continental breakfast buffet. These images are all presented against a galaxy background with text overlay saying 'It's a Vibe'. On the bottom right of the image, there is an Auslan Interpreter and the presenter.

Friday Night Social: DISTRACTION

Moritz von Oswald sits casually on a chair, wearing a navy blue suit, in his studio. It's filled with art deco furniture and hifi music listening equipment.

Deep Listeners

An image of 'Einder'. A sheer fabric sheet that is mid fall against a moody lit ceiling. It almost looks like smoke pillowing.

The Starterpack

A gorgeous colourful collection of glass trinkets, some shells, blue glass flowers, glass koala, glass blue bird, assembled in a maximalist fashion, set against a black background.

The Local

Ryoji Ikeda stands in the middle of the stage, there is a blurred crowd at the bottom of the image. One of his works appears in the background as he appears to be mid-performance. He is wearing an "ultratronics" tee shirt, the text is in white on a black tee. He is also wearing a black cap and his face is not visible.

The Future Focused

Laurel Halo stands against a grainy blue/grey gradient wearing a grey suit and white shirt. Her vibrant red hair flies out to the side and swoops over her face. Her left hand is in her pocket, casually.

The Explorer

A man with a cap stands on the very right hand side of the frame holding a stick and stands facing the left hand side. Cross dissolved underneath is a picture of fire with trees burning.
