review of The Last Man to Die: Installed
Emma Gibson has written a review of our recent performance/installation for BMA Magazine in Canberra!
Here's a little quote:
Here's a little quote:
By far the most technologically impressive feat was a scene about jellyfish – in fact, a type of jellyfish that is essentially immortal. Images of these jellyfish were projected onto the walls and Cormick, fitted with something presumably like a Wii remote, entered the performance space and danced with them. Her movements controlled the movements of the projected jellyfish, flinging them from side to side, guiding them to glide from one place to another. The message – that by controlling the jellyfish, we have the potential to control our own lifespans.

Review: RealTime Arts
Our work "The Last Man to Die" was reviewed by Douglas Leonard as part of RealTime's writeup of Brisbane Festival Under The Radar.
Normally I’m averse to multimedia overkill, but here the futuristic setting warranted, and vindicated, its skilful use, creating a subtly retro aesthetic to match the artists’ retrograde view of the immortality industry.
...caught up in a maze of fine writing by Peter Butz and fine acting by Cormick with whom, as sadistic collaborators with technology, we were forced to repeat in an endless loop. Immortality.The full review is available online at RealTime Arts' website.
