I am in the net through an interface different from the one you use when you do (2005).
I am on the net is an installation work which employs language translation software to provide "resonances" of original spoken and textual materials in multiple-listening-post installation spaces. The inexact nature of such language translations (such as that provided by babelfish, for example) are used to resonate the text using multiple feedback pathways to create a "chinese whispers" environment.

Alien Garden (2003)
Alien Garden is a technically sophisticated and dynamic digital arts project, featuring a stand-alone portable 3D sound and image installation linked to a dynamic website which enables visitors and potential visitors to "seed" the virtual garden.

It was initially presented as a six-week installation at Floriade’s 2003 festival (audience of approximately 45,000 people), but has the potential to be toured extensively both within Australia and internationally.

The Twins (1999)
A pair of semi-naked sex-dolls are playing Scrabble on their day off. They talk in an almost familiar language. Delighting in a communication characterised by qualities of flexibility, restlessness and responsiveness to the environment, they are articulate, displaying the quick wit of repartee, the to-and-fro of gossip and news. Highly strung, they change moods with startling suddenness from sweet calm to brooding thunder. Their impulse is to awaken and ripple conciousness, to communicate.
