291 Digital Evening
Medulla Intimata

291 Bar Tuesday 20th July 8pm-11pm Free entry
Tina Gonsalves and Tom Donaldson, artists who form the Clutch responsive video collaboration, will preview their latest project, Medulla Intimata, an experiment in responsive video jewellery portraiture. Tina and Tom will each wear a necklace in which a video screen is embedded. The video displayed is created in real-time in direct response to conversations they have with participants in the gallery. Tina and Tom will relax in 291 bar and chat to anyone around. As they do so, video portraits of them will appear on the jewellery, at times cold and formal, at others lush and flirtatious, depending on the tone and mood of the conversation they are having. The net result will be a dynamic, occasionally awkward, often vulnerable, and sometimes inciteful portrait of them, their interactions and their response to those around them. Medulla Intimata will be previewed at 291 prior to an international tour. This show will test the effectiveness of the responses. Medulla Intimata has been supported by the Banff New Media Institute in Canada, The Australia Arts Council, Arts Queensland and ArtSway.
