Experimenta opening night interview with ABC

Now I’m back in Berlin, and I have to say that it was (and still is) a great biennial in Melbourne! Experimenta has assembled a very joyful exhibition and if you should be in Melbourne: Go and see it.

At the opening night, Grégory Lasserre, who is showing Akousmaflore and me did an interview with Suzanne Donisthorpe of the Australian national radio ABC. And well, due to some strange thing that happened shortly before, both, Grégory and me swapped identities and I while was explaining his plant piece, he explained the artistic backgrounds of the International Dance Party. It was really a lot of fun – maybe slightly too much fun. Suzanne has eventually found out about the fake and won’t broadcast the interview. But there will be something else about the IDP at Experiemnta on ABC next Sunday, 10pm Australian time, and Suzanne told me it will be available online too.

And the picture credits for the photo on top go to Isobel Knowles who also has a very nice piece in the exhibition. It is an interactive animation, and you can try out an online version of her work here (might be cheaper than a flight to Melbourne):
