We all know how painful it is to let go of the things you love, the things you have nurtured and given life to. I have had to do just that with Toy Satellite. It has been time to move on…

Last year apc.au had decommissioned c2o, it’s hosting servers and along with moving to an entire virtual operation, it has sought to either continue to support Toy Satellite initiatives, or that of its own. After much soul searching, we chose the latter.

toysatellite.org is now an archive of its contribution to Australian New Media – a decade of innovation and experimentation from its founding in 1995 to its subsequent closure in 2005. Read more about this on my website.

On the Edge of Wrong #3 from andrew garton on Vimeo.

Earlier in the year I shot a series of shorts at the Cape Town based On the Edge of Wrong free music festival. The completed set of five are now online.

Ten years ago I began working with the video artist and painter, John Power. We were keen to develop ways and means to fuse our improvisations in sound and image towards interactions that were both immediate and meaningful.

Our work continues having explored numerous means of live sound and image interplay, over many projects, recently culminating in the proof of concept machinima work titled Border Song.

Border Song was recently exhibited at the new RMIT Gallery, Field 36, from June 10 – 13. For more details on this unique collaboration read the exhibition notes.
