| SYNCRETISM FEATURING DEADBEAT & FILE_ERROR | |
Acclaimed Montreal electronic artist Deadbeat (Scott Monteith) will be joined by File_Error.
Deadbeat has a collection of releases on some of the most respected labels in the world and is renowned for his ability to craft impossibly heavy dub.
Deadbeat will be joined by File_Error (Nicholas Mills and Zane Saunders), who will present “DeepNorth” a sound art and digital screen/media examination of Far North Queensland.
Having gathered media from a range of North Queensland locales “DeepNorth” examines the legacy of human activity on the environment and challenges the absurdity of contemporary western norms.

| BELL TOWER II SERIES: CLOSE PROXIMITY | |
Over two nights in February Brisbane audiences are invited to participate in a unique physical theatre experience, Close Proximity, a free performance to take place in the shopfront of The Judith Wright Centre.
Viewing the performance from the street, the lines between audience, shopper, visitor, intruder, witness and participant, become blurred in a new investigation of the human body by choreographer and performer Elise May.
On Wednesday 11 February audiences are invited to view an installation that investigates space, sound, design and video in Brunswick Street. This is followed by two nights of live performances in the shopfront of The Judith Wright Centre.
