Four dLux Projects
An online gallery launched June 13th in conjunction with the dLux exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. While no curatorial theme is mentioned, projects on display focus either on sound or narrative. For example, visit Jon Drummond and Nigel Helyer's "Magnus-Opus," home to their 100,000,000,000 telephone tone sequences. Since each sequence has been copyrighted, beware: next time you dial your phone, you may be violating international copyright law. Other web works don't risk jail time and are by Hanna Kuts and Viktor Dovhalyuk, Shirin Kouladjie, and Ricardo Miranda.
