The surf installation was inspired by Beatnick;, Steve Gorrow embarked on a journey beneath the sea to explore the depths of the mind and creativity. Along with the help of his brother, Steve shipped out to Bali to take on the massive feat of building above and beneath the sea to give birth to the latest Insight surf spectacle, and that is Dopamine. Not one to cut corners on creativity, Steve combined upside down bedrooms, naked girls on motor bikes and underwater shanty towns with the amazing skill of the Insight surf team (surfnics) and the photographic talents of Dustin Humphrey to create an array of split double world madness. Welcome to Insight's latest surf campaign featuring surfers Kai Otton, Luke Stedman, Warren Smith, Jared Mell, Made Lana,Jason Apparicio & The Jamaican Surf Team."

"These things begin innocently enough. A washing machine breaks down.

A teacher asks her pupil to remain after class. A specialist is called in to offer a second opinion. A maid comes to clean a hotel room, only to find it still occupied... Mundane moments from small, humdrum lives filled with quiet desperation.

Desperation, and horniness.

The opening scenes of pornographic films, as shown in these stills compiled by the annual magazine Useful Photography, display an almost touching dedication to basic narrative constraints. In an age when you can make a porn movie with a camera phone in a Topshop changing room, it's reassuring to find people out there who still believe in telling stories, who still think: you can't just let your characters turn up and start going at it. Where's the motivation?"

The Vacanti Earmouse is a controversial bio-mimesis project that has become ingrained in popular mythology. Veering from the grotesque to the ridiculous, fascinating symbioses of man and machine have been created by incorporating computer hardware with cloned living cell tissues. I explore this commodification of human/animal life by designing props for my performances that have an ergonomic machine-like aesthetic with inputs and outputs for processing interaction, but are costumes for myself. In this piece I am hidden inside a box, with only a square of my back showing. Visitors can use my back as a computer touchpad. I feel the fingers of the participant draw across my back, which I then replicate on a small drawing tablet concealed with me inside the box. The drawing that I make is then displayed on a monitor. It is based upon the piece 2 Stage Transfer Drawing by performance artist Dennis Oppenheim and The Turk, a hoax automaton chess player by Wolfgang Von Kempelen.

“Gary was watching a ‘World’s Strongest Women’ show and saw a woman pick up a motorcycle.
‘Oh I could do that,’ I offered.
‘Could you?’ he responded, breathless.
‘Yes. How much do you weigh?’
‘160.’
‘Oh. I could bench-press two of you.’
‘Oh my god… I’d like to see you lift up my girlfriend’s car.’
‘What kind of car does she have?’
‘A Mazda Miata.’
‘Oh yes, I could pick up a Miata. In fact, I would love to.’
‘Really?!?!??! Oh my god! What if my girlfriend was inside?’
‘I would just pick it up, lift it to my shoulder level, and then hoist it up over my head, with your girlfriend inside. I’d slowly turn around in a circle with it held up in the air, with your girlfriend screaming in the front seat.’”

A part of me may miss getting paid for this when I move on.

"The Sorted Books project began in 1993 years ago and is ongoing. The project has taken place in many different places over the years, ranging form private homes to specialized public book collections. The process is the same in every case: culling through a collection of books, pulling particular titles, and eventually grouping the books into clusters so that the titles can be read in sequence, from top to bottom."

"The exhibition includes a16mm film whose plot continues the artist’s ongoing fictional narrative “The Spirit Girls”, the premise of which is a spectral reincarnation of a 1970s girl band. The protagonist, played by Weber, sets out alone on an adventure of self-discovery, during which she is incarcerated by a bizarre collection of hybrid creatures."
