EXIT PRINT & TOTALLY INTO THE NET

In December look out for the final print edition of RealTime, our 130th. It’s a sad but necessary transition to total online publishing as the print venture becomes unsustainable and there’s much we wish to do online. We‘ll continue to review and report but will show works, commission new ones, curate online exhibitions, initiate new kinds of reviewing, stream events and video-conference RealTime forums and workshops.

Profiler 13 anticipates the move with interactive works and a dance documentary you can access immediately. Travel the layers of an infinite book conjured by Jorge Luis Borges in The Book of Sand, realised as a digital opera by Dutch composer Michel Van der Aa and performed by mezzo-soprano Kate Miller-Heidke for the Sydney Festival. Engage with 10 intriguing digital creations in curator Roslyn Helper’s New Physics, an adventurous self-funded online art gallery. Aptly, Darren Jorgensen reports on the National Experimental Arts Forum recently held in Perth; Lauren Carroll Harris is entranced by Ryoji Ikeda’s Superposition; Jon Rose, just back from New York, impressed by a multi-million dollar scheme there to support new music, proposes a model to create sites in venue-starved Sydney; and Stephen Whittington delivers a rallying cry for the liberation of sound in a wittily provocative manifesto.

Interview: Atlanta Eke
Atlanta Eke's work tends toward the hybrid. It's the essence of her choreography, drawing visual, sonic, new media and conceptual forms into new relationships of exchange with the dancing body. Andrew Fuhrmann spoke to Eke about her practice and her latest work, Miss Universal, commissioned by Chunky Move.

A new gallery for & of the internet
Sydney-based artist and curator Roslyn Helper has enterprisingly initiated an online gallery, New Physics, promising a series of exhibitions which open with extant works by Joe Hamilton, Alrey Batol, Josh Harle and Louise Zhang alongside works altered for an online context by Kusum Normoyle and Holly Childs and Stephanie Overs. Also featured are an ongoing work by Giselle Stanborough and commissioned creations by Ellen Formby and Peter Wildman.

Pippa Samaya, film: Dancing in the Now
Interview with Pippa Samaya, a 27-year old recent RMIT graduate in commercial photography who has made an engrossing, self-funded and ambitious 50-minute documentary, Dancing in the Now, freely available online.

Review: Ryoji Ikeda, Superposition
Lauren Carroll Harris reviews this vastly imaginative and precisely realised video, sound and installation work, in its recent incarnation at Sydney's Carriageworks.

Models in sustainability for new, experimental and ‘other’ music performance
Last month Jon Rose was invited to be one of the curators in launching New York's new ‘new music’ space National Sawdust with his Interactive Sonic Ball project and to undertake a 12-concert residency at The Stone. His experience has inspired Rose to imagine a model for a sustainable music culture in Sydney against the odds of power and property values if without optimism about Australian arts philanthropy and state arts funding.
