This is the first time that X|Media|Lab is held with Vivid Sydney which means that the beautiful Sydney Opera House will once again be dressed up as part of the Festival’s focus on light, sound, creativity and ideas. A double treat for us interstate visitors!

I had a bit more time, a bit more energy and a little less work to catch up on I would love to check out UnConvention Brisbane on June 12 and 13, the Young People and the Arts Australia ‘Changing Habitats’ Symposium on June 8 to 10.
On the other hand if you have missed out on some of the previous X|Media|Lab and AIMIA Queensland events, writeups can be found at Media Suarez and Brisbane Creative Industries. Subsequently, I’ll be blogging, liveblogging, tweeting and twitpicing and I look forward to other people doing the same. I have set aside hashtags except for the Australia Council one – have asked Project Coordinator what the hashtag is and will update it once we know. Delegates can follow me on Twitter here and also add on Linked in here.

Michael Smellie (Former Global COO Sony BMG) – The world is global and it can only become moreso

Launched in 2005, the daily fashion blog attracts close to a million visitors per month and is transforming the way in which fashion is delivered, reported on and consumed online.
The two speakers will make appearances in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane alongside other guests and will share their thoughts on fashion-based social media, trends in online retail and new directions in fashion reporting and business followed by hospitality provided by our partners.

Had a notice from Caro Jende about this event called ‘Engage Me’. I first met Caro (she works at Youth Arts Queensland) at the end of 07 when I did an exhibition in Transit Lounge which is on the same level as Youth Arts Queensland in the Judith Wright Centre. But I no longer am active in exhibitions but it is great to retain ties and thus received a call from Caro about this event. So I will be there to represent Brisbane Creative Industries and creative industries entrepreneurship for:

Post Dancenorth / QLD Music Festival / Write-up
Dancenorth’s ‘Remember Me’ was part of the Queensland Music Festival program and one of the YAMP (Youth Arts Mentoring Program) projects by Ashleigh Wheeler from Expressions Dance Company. I was under the impression that the main highlight was the contemporary company and the music accompanied it as a side but that was because I didn’t have a really thorough read of the brochure (just had a look at the Dancenorth website and also the two YouTube clips that was sent through). The great part of this production was the very fitting relationship between the live band and the performance – there were even times when the notes became invisible strings that were pulling the puppets, the dancers, into various contortions and moves. I have found a great moral to this piece and the moral of it is that passion is forever (in this case in particular, dance is forever). The performance started off with an introduction from the dancers – all young except for a muscular pregnant woman. I felt that she was like this symbol of ‘transition’ between youth and old age with the multimedia presentations featuring interviews of old couples who have danced for decades and ending with both young and old dancing together.
There were quite a few moments which I really, really appreciated and which sent shivers down my back. I felt that it was a great idea for me to watch the two YouTube clips so that when the actual live performance took place, I recognised it and feel a lot more appreciated of that particular segment just because I can witness it in real life. It was almost like going to a concert – you have a chance to listen to the music, to see the videos, to perhaps even witness live videos of the band playing – and then the experience of the song is complete when it is witnessed live.
A couple of friends and I tweeted before and after the show and also during the intermission. As much as tweeting/mobile phone use (ie taking photos, videos, making notes) is starting to get acceptance by speakers and at events, this setting isn’t really suited for that sort of actions. Plus there were word from BPH about interference at the venue with the mobile phones. I think that doing things ‘virtually’ in an arts performance would have a mixture of adhering to the usual practice of closing your mobile phones (ie while watching the Queensland ballet at QPAC) while also leaving doors open for opportunities in terms of these new ‘virtual rooms’ where you can microblog live events, twitpic bands and street artists, tweet during an interesting and varied circus performance and more! It really depends on the performance, on the audience, the suitability of this (it’s fairly niche) etc.
