Perth digital artist Vikki Wilson initiated this project concerning the serial killer 'still at large' in the urban family paradise of Perth. The work highlights the contrast between the city's naïve sun-bathed exterior and the dark reality of continued disappearance and murder of young women. The work also seeks to highlight the ambiguities of modern society’s simultaneous repulsion and fascination (as evidenced by 100s of Hollywood movies) with serial killing.
In this version of the work the juxtaposition of images is made by a live performer using the MIBURI MIDI jump suit as a kind of ‘all-body’ VJ console. The central concept of linking the formal structure of the piece to its content (the horrifying randomness of serial killing) is maintained in this version through the use of a MAX patch that selects audio samples according to an unpredictable pattern.
A live record from the legendary Diamanda Galás finds the artist exploring the outer fringes of pop with only her voice and a piano. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 30, 2024
