introducing artists:

Alycia Bennett: SUPERZOOM

SUPERZOOM is a new experimental harsh noise performance/live video work. The Adelaide City Councils Free ‘Citycams’ will be interacted with, mixed with early internet visual tropes and samples. The work will be live-streamed via twitch for online/worldwide communities to view and participate via the chat function. SUPERZOOM creates a playful yet ominous, harsh noise soundtrack, investigating private and public realms of surveilled space. Questioning the sensitivities of a surveilled reality, and highlights the inevitable aspect of potential failure when engaging with the internet and the unknown.

Sensory warnings:
Loud Noise & Potential flashing imagery via the video content shared.

kristi biezaite: unravelling ii

Kristi Biezaite is an artist of Latvian and Estonian heritage living in Robe, South Australia, where she has lived and worked since moving to Australia in 2010. Influenced by her Baltic roots and the local landscape, her textile-based practice draws on natural materials, traditional techniques, and a strong sense of place. Often beginning with raw wool she processes by hand, her work explores connection—to land, people, and process—while extending into experimental and participatory forms.

At FELTlive she presents Unravelling II, a performance of deliberate unmaking that reflects on effort, time, impermanence, and the meaning found in endings.

gemma+molly: Sync Well

Gemma Sattler and Molly McKenzie are Naarm based artists, working primarily from their artistic partnership, gemma+molly. Their practice exists within, and is activated by, the medium of live performance. Anchored by individual and shared understandings of the potential of choreography as a structure independent of dance, they devise performance that choreographs attention, space and bodies, both animate and inanimate. Underlying their practice is an embodied thinking towards cyclical time and the various ways and places in which this exists - they endeavour to make work that enters cyclical temporalities, working to queer audience and performers’ perceptions of linear time.
