Speed:
A Live Satellite
Installation
14
March - 16 March,
2003
Tue - Sun: 11.00am - 6.00pm
Gallery One
For 3 days only from 14 to 16 March, ACP plays host
to Miriam Lloyd's speed, an
innovative immersive installation linking the
gallery in real time to Olive Downs, near
Tibooburra NSW. Harnessing both broadcast quality
satellite communication and the internet, visitors
will experience an interactive relation to the
remote bush landscape, dissolving the sense of
concrete locality into the new reality of
telepresence.
Miriam Lloyd's interactive video installation
speed, running from 14 to 16 March only,
comprises a panoramic, back-projected cube in which
the viewer's movement is tracked by sensors feeding
back to remotely control cameras mounted at Olive
Downs near Tibooburra in northwest NSW. Using
broadcast-quality satellite technology, these
images are transmitted back to ACP and projected
instantaneously. This interactivity, or
'telepresence', explores the relationship of the
viewer to a landscape that would be regarded by
traditional non-Indigenous aesthetics as a
foreboding, empty wilderness, and asks whether
internet and computer technologies are creating
their own sublime, in all its terrible beauty.
Miriam Lloyd is a British artist who has shown
nationally and internationally. Her exhibitions
include Modern Medicine, curated by Damien
Hirst and Charles Saatchi, and Time and Tides
at Watermans Arts Centre in London. She
relocated to Sydney specifically to produce
speed.
This exhibition is presented in collaboration with
the University of New South Wales at the College of
Fine Arts. For further information about this
