Present Views of Past Streets (Series)
This series includes video works that deal with subjective experience of going through an urban space in which one has never been physically.
Before I first traveled to each location, I took a walk in Google Street View. I added a recording of my voice, in which I commented on feelings, observations and the sounds that I would imagine going through the actual place. During a short stay in the cities, I walked exactly the same routes as I had virtually and recorded sound with binaural microphones to capture the spatial atmosphere. In the last step, the recording was added to the video, merging different layers of time and space as well.

The Woman of the Crowd
This site-specific audio-walk was developed for the exhibition “The Flaneur: From Impressionism to the Present” at the Kunstmuseum Bonn. Taking Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Man of the Crowd” as a starting point, it examines the topic of flanerie and presents four alternative characters from fine art and literature as female flaneuses. While listening to their stories, the participant is led through the area surrounding the museum.
“When we think of the woman in the crowd, walking among other people, does she ever turn around and look back? Suddenly having distinct features, a personality, an identity? What if she, in turn, was the flaneur, or rather the flaneuse? One that is not relegated to the periphery? One that has her own way, her own wishes and desires? Is it even possible to think of a figure that transcends this binary opposition of established gender norms?”

A Total Jizzfest
Critical sarcastic reflection on the male domination of the digital media industry. This video celebrates Silicon Valley and the founders of successful com- panies, platforms and blogs such as Microsoft (Bill Gates), Apple (Steve Jobs), Google (Larry Page & Sergey Brin), Facebook (Mark Zuckerberg), Twitter (Nick Dorsey), Megaupload (Kim Dotcom), Skype (Niklas Zennström & Janus Friis), Buzzfeed (Jonah Peretti), Tumblr (David Karp & Marco Arment), Vimeo (Jakob Lodwick) and others. Advertising slogans such as ‘Hot Creations’ or ‘The Best Selection’, a post-Internet aesthetic and cheesy soundtracks (including ‘Boys of Paradise’ by Unicorn Kid) turn this video into an amusing and simultaneously caustic inventory, evidencing that the brave new world of media is dominated by male protagonists. According to a study by the American Association of University Women, in 2013 merely 26% of professional computer scientists were women – 9% less than in 1990.

Polly Returns
Digital contemporary retake of Shelley Lake's eerie video 'Polly gone' (1988). 'Polly Gone' was a critique of the gendered role of the housewife. Although the music is 1980s techno, the eeriness and themes somewhat recalls Chantal Akerman's video 'Saute ma ville' (1968). In 'Polly Returns', the robot has taken a more humane physiognomy, and the relation to the screen has changed. Polly has become an integral part of the screen, and her gendered role has acquired complexity that goes beyond domestic chores. Rolling text instructs her in a very neoliberal way how to be simultaneously a perfect housewife, a politically conscious citizen, a productive worker and a caring mum, among others.

Assembly
Angelica Mesiti’s ASSEMBLY is a new three-channel video installed within an architectural setting inspired by the historical shape of the community circle and amphitheatre. ASSEMBLY establishes as an evolving set of translations from the written word to stenographic codes then music, and performance. Filmed in the Senate chambers of Italy and Australia, the three screens of ASSEMBLY travel through the corridors, meeting rooms and parliaments of government while performers, representing the multitude of ancestries that constitute cosmopolitan Australia, gather, disassemble and re-unite, demonstrating the strength and creativity of a plural community.

Magpiiie
Magpiiie is a work of digital poetry that explores the pursuit of 'success' and other materialistic things.
Written and developed by Andy Campbell and Judi Alston, the piece uses photo-scanned twigs and branches fused with repeating lines of poetry and spoken word audio to create a tightly-woven 'nest' that can be explored using the mouse and your mouse’s scroll wheel. Uncover the shiny objects wedged into the surface of the nest to release the poem.
The piece also works on high-end mobile devices (phones, tablets) and Windows touch-enabled laptops/monitors.
