That makes total sense. AWE could be great, I hope it gets in, and I hope you get to go along!

Looks like you have to be able to attend AWE to be accepted, though? For you though, there could be a travel stipend or something⦠Good luck!! I hope you get in!!
Thank you so much! :)

Itβs always a thrill to send something that started on my desk in Australia, out into the wider world β whether it be in VR (like in the Strange Pear Gallery for Feb), or in physical form.
Thanks for the support @mildiane.bsky.social, itβs a real joy to know itβs hanging on yr wall.
Date Night. Saw Wuthering Heights with my darling wife. Great costumes. Fab music.
But, O Heathcliff, fuck off already.
Sometimes I get really sad. & then I remember that βThe Complete Death of Coolβ by the Noodles Foundation still exists, & things donβt seem so bad.

Yay! More galleries! πβ€οΈπΈ
Listened to Pusciferβs new album βNormal Isnβtβ tonight. Really enjoyed the time signatures. Other things too, but it is so nice to hear something that is not always 4/4 (but of course, we all know they can play)
Couple goals

Digital painting of a golden sunset over the ocean. The sky is blue at the top with streaks of greying clouds that lead down to golds, yellows and oranges of a beautiful sun setting over reflective water. There are the silhouettes of trees and bushes in the foreground that lead down to a shoreline with brown and purple hues.
I have the honour of showcasing "Sunset Before A New Day" at The Strange Pear Gallery alongside other amazing creatives including this months solo exabit artist- the wonderful @reversebutcher.bsky.social

& a huge thank you to all the virtual photographers who allowed me to show their photos of "The Continuous Present" from Raindance Immersive 2025. @fastolph.bsky.social, @bastkaerun.bsky.social, @mildiane.bsky.social, & Nopied. Yr photos really helped show how my VR guided art tour worked! πΈπ§΅
@transversewithru.com - that explainer video I made about the Kaleidosky VR Art & Culture Expo back in 2024 was really helpful in explaining how VR could facilitate live music & art. Everyone loves yr avatar! Who is the bunny! Is that a real person! What is a furry?! β€οΈπ°...π§΅
& special thanks to my friends from afar who helped out too! @kgpaints.bsky.social who sent in a really helpful explainer video about immersivism... π§΅
Thanks to Kathy Horvat & Tara Poole, & Creative Ballarat for the opportunity to exhibit. Deep thanks to my wife Kylie, who helped install & deinstall, served drinks, explained complicated art & tech concepts, kept me fed & sane, & sat in this gallery with me for hrs while I was in a VR headset. β€οΈπ§΅
& watch this space! I'll be making an exciting announcement soon about how you can access this collection of work in VR for the month of February soon. So if you weren't in Ballarat & couldn't drop by, don't worry. You'll be able to see it soon. β€οΈπ§΅
Exhibitions may come down, but theyβre never static, and this one was shaped just as much by the people who spent time with it as by the works themselves. π§΅
Torn Textures & Hybrid Glyphs has now officially wrapped at Art Space Ballarat!
Thanks to everyone who came through the space over the last few weeks β for the conversations, questions, curiosity, confusion, & generosity. π§΅
