Avantwhatever Commissions Launch and Listening Party with Peter Blamey, Stephen Cornford, Charmaine Lee, and Ben Byrne
Avantwhatever premieres the first in our new series of audiovisual commissions of digital sound, art, and design, presenting works from artists Charmaine Lee (New York), Stephen Cornford (Bristol), and Peter Blamey (Sydney) on Friday May 26 in the RMIT Black Box space in Naarm, with an introduction from curator Ben Byrne.
The commissions will be hosted on our dedicated audiovisual server and website, using the open web and peer-to-peer technology to make them freely accessible and discoverable using decentralised social media, as will be demonstrated as part of the event.
The first three commissions will be presented on the night, ahead of publication, using the RMIT Digital Media Black Box’s bespoke audiovisual system to offer an ideal listening and viewing environment.
Commissions from experimental vocalist Charmaine Lee, and media artist and researcher Stephen Cornford will be premiered, followed by a live performance from commissioned musician and artist Peter Blamey.
Free by RSVP, with attendees added to the Avantwhatever mailing list.

Ultra-Sonic, curated by Joyce Hinterding and David Haines
Exhibition opening: Wednesday, 8 March, 6–8pm
Ultra-Sonic weaves unconventional musical and sonic lines through the flotsam and jetsam of the shipwreck of installation art to create a new territory in an upended world. Peter Blamey, Lichen Kelp, Dylan Martorell, Naomi Oliver, and Kusum Normoyle create musical and non-musical kingdoms in which everything shakes and moves.

Things have been pretty quiet in 2021 – no surprises there. A revamp of the site has seen the end of the old blog-style news page (something I was never a fan of) replaced with this simpler page. Also, the site now has a dark background, saving some energy and removing the ‘art gallery’ feel of the old white background (another thing I wasn’t keen on).
Not expecting to have any upcoming events until 2022, but then again you never know.
