JAMES WHINERAY
in response to Mathas and Beni Bjah
West Australian artist James Whineray presents Review A new multi channel video work depicting the 'life review' phenomenon of chronological self-analysis. Review is a sequence of images photographed by James across different photographic formats over the past 10 years. The viewer is presented with a series of photographic impressions coupled with video reverberation suggestive of ’life flashing before one’s eyes’.
Performance

Screenings
Fri 15 July, Tue 19 July & Wed 20 July 2016
LUNA LAURE
in reponse to Pow Negro, Soukoss International
Homines Machinae - Exploring the relationship between men and technology, the video projection is a retro-futuristic visual odyssey that juxtaposes the man-made science of music and the abundance of machines surrounding us. Using archival footage, such as blues performances from the 1940s and 1950s, as well as modern, original footage, this screen based work links the old to the new to make a new space where music, machines and images all collide.
