After bringing in the New Year at the Nierka cast and crew party in Kings Cross, it was off back east to Gutterslut. Photos here.

The present is yet more distant than the past or future; the world lies between here and the world. The task is to reach through the world, to the world, and bring something of the present moment forward, nearer to us.

But unlike past and future, the distant present is nascent, not known, un-full-formed. We do not know the moment wherein we feel the wire in the rose; the act of the bringing-forward of that moment, through the world, to us, brings through, also, in that tearing, alongside that towards which we reach, also these incomprehensible fragments from Platonia, soiled with their amber of beauty and fear — such love, the stain of the gold of which darkens in all our hearts.

The candidate must be available for all or most dates – some full days but mostly evenings. We are integrating open- and closed-source sensor and music-production technologies, including Ableton Live/PureData/Processing/Arduino, to create wearable wireless media controllers, and are looking for someone who can become the ‘go-to’ person in case of technical issues. This would involve learning the show so they can set it and test each night and becoming familiar with the programming we have used so that it can be tweaked and/or ‘repaired’ if necessary. The successful candidate doesn’t need to have direct experience of everything we’ve used but must understand the field well enough to be able to come up to speed quickly.

The position may also involve helping to run the sound desk and/or lighting. The company is a lot of fun to work with, and there is scope for collaboration and suggesting creative ideas of your own. Most of us are involved in other companies and the right person could end up with further work but we must stress we are a professional company and this is a prestigious run for us, so we someone prepared to put in the time and who understands a lot of tech rehearsing is sitting around waiting. The position is unpaid but we will be able to cover some expenses.

I’m stills photographer on Nierka, a multidisciplinary, multisensory performance currently in production by Satore Studio. More on that when the project is a bit more public, but until then, watch the teaser trailer above…

Production design by Tupac Martir for Satore Studio.

Prior to the party, the geometry of the architectural features of the back of the house was modelled. Thoughout the evening, video featuring objects and textures from the house itself, the art collection housed within, and the grounds, was projected across the facade using the architectural elements as masks through which to map the video. Animated koi swam in and out of the windows, the entire facade was turned into a a row of book spines, and much more… even in the pouring rain, beautiful and atmospheric.
