Francesca da Rimini Rama Quotations

We have had government funding for new media since the early '80s.

I am ashamed to be Australian in these times.

The few remaining truths are graffiti, suicide notes, shopping lists.

A lot of the images in my work are a kind of visual diary of places I've been, what I've seen, heard, smelt.

Occasionally I still do a bit of stuff with people I met there seven years ago. It's like looking up an old lover IRL. But on the whole I've personally exhausted that avenue of research, so it no longer draws me. I did write a novel as a kind of document of that era.

I create most of my own images. I steal about 2%. I use Photoshop but didn't learn it very deep. I am ultra lazy about learning software.

My Roman girlfriend translates bits from Italian into English. It is sublime.

I like to travel. I will be in Banff next year. I would like to make a series of DVDs at Banff. I won't talk about where they will end up... just not in the media art world.

I was working as an art and tech researcher in '84. At that time there had been a small government program of assistance for artists for at least three or four years. I was working with Super 8 film then. And video in '85 and public radio in the early '80s.

Search for beauty without features, something deeper than any signs.

Come dress yourself in love, let the journey begin.

I need to borrow a camera to take some pix of my studio, which is basically the kitchen table.
