Mineral Machine Music 1080P (9 min) (2014)

Mineral Machine Music has become a successful global touring artwork since its debut in Townsville in January 2014. Most significantly, it was shortlisted for the prestigious Lumen Digital Arts Prize in Cardiff in June 2014. The Lumen is recognised by the UK’s Guardian newspaper as the “The world’s pre-eminent digital art prize”. As a result of this shortlisting Mineral Machine Music was a part of the Lumen touring program that visited Cardiff, Amsterdam, Athens, the New York Institute of Technology on Broadway and will have a season at London’s famous Crypt Gallery beneath St Pancras’ church in May 2015. In December, the film was also shortlisted for the MADATAC06 video art award in Spain screening at the historic Palacio de Cibeles Auditorium in Madrid. Most recently Mineral Machine Music was selected from over 2500 works to feature in the 16th Media Art Biennale in Wroclaw, Poland in May.
