My video dog daze is an official selection for screening in the Artist’s Film section of the Aesthetica Short Film Festival 2019 in York, UK, November 2019. This is one of the biggest and most diverse short film festivals around, so I’m totally amazed that my little video got it there!

During our recent visit to Sweden, I did an impromptu recording session of poetry with musician / artist Frédéric Iriarte [UNIC6 Electroacoustic Universal Art Music]. Frédéric then composed and played backing tracks for the poems. This is a very different approach compared to my usual style. There also are some interesting conversations in the mix…
Solid Air: Australian and New Zealand Spoken Word, edited by David Stavanger and Anne-Marie Te Whiu is a really fabulous, unique collection just published by UQP. I’m delighted to have the text of my video poem dog daze included in the mix.
As the promo says, “Over the past decade, Spoken Word has established itself as a central part of contemporary Australian & New Zealand poetry. For the first time ever, these voices are transported from the stage to the page, captured in print so that the spoken-word experience can be shared with a new and broader audience.
Solid Air showcases the work of more than 100 performance poets – combining elements of slam, hip-hop and experimental performance poetry – to deliver an unforgettable reading experience that is both literary and loud. Poems capture themes of modern culture, identity and resistance.”

future perfect is another experiment in seeing how far we can reduce language to its core elements and still have some semblance of legibility… strip off the prefixes and suffixes, get rid of articles and modifiers, ask a text-to-speech algorithm to read it…
