The Wandering Eye Studies is a series of video and sound pieces generated as part of the development for an interactive video installation entitled Wandering Eye. The installation produces images and sounds from video input gathered by an array of surveillance cameras and explores the visual language of electronic observation. The Studies explores some of the visual transformations brought about by focusing on particular aspects of the video imagery: motion is highlighted or isolated, edges of objects are detected and enhanced, and changes in luminance are used to generate the soundtrack. Though I share many of the typical concerns of the culture of surveillance, my interest here is in showing the lure of the image itself. While being in front of the lens is disquieting, the view from behind it is seductive. The oscillation of experience between the two is one of the most compelling aspects of surveillance imagery in the mediascape, one that draws the eye as it unsettles the mind.

Particle Moves is an installation developed in collaboration with the Elision contemporary music ensemble to be a responsive sound environment in which the members of the ensemble can work intuitively. The performance of the ensemble is processed and mixed through a set of specially designed metal loudspeakers placed throughout the exhibition space. The mix changes continually to produce an ever-shifting alignment of the sounds in space. The intermittent movement of a series of kinetic elements — flexing rods, floor-crawling discs, and solenoid-driven resonators — serve as an occasional punctuation for the ongoing sound mix and underline the use of sound here as a physical force that moves around the listener as it shapes and reshapes the listening space.
The Elision Ensemble are Daryl Buckley, Ben Marks, Michael Hewes and Tim O'Dwyer. The production of Particle Moves at the Institute of Modern Art was supported by a grant from Arts Queensland and was assisted by Leon Waud.
Installation views at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, July, 2003.

Outfield is an installation made from a variety of sound-producing electromechanical objects and an array of small loudspeakers enclosed in a set of cylindrical containers. The objects (motors and relays which activate mechanical devices) are controlled by a set of microprocessors that communicate with each other to shape the overall behavior of the installation. The loudspeakers play subtly-altered recordings of the objects; these recordings blend with and augment the acoustic space generated by the objects. As they do so they reveal delicate distinctions in texture between the live and recorded sounds. As a result, a complex set of systemic interrelationships and causalities emerges over time from the actions of the individual objects, the patterns of their activities, and the interplay between live and recorded sound. The viewer and listener is immersed in a continually shifting field of the physical sounds of electronic activity, and electronic sounds of physical motion.
The combination of kinetic, sonic, and visual elements serves to create an immersive environment in which the terrain of activity continually shifts and evolves in an organic manner. The behaviors of Outfield form a deeply layered physical hocketing (call and response patterning) which blend sound and physical space in a visceral manner.
Installation views at the San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose, CA, June, 2008.
