Porto Casa de Serralves

Beautiful art gallery and the entire property with the original house, gardens and farm lands stunning. Lucky to catch the OFF THE WALL exhibition on performance art.

Bathroom Tiles

I first learnt about the Casa da Musica at a design conference in Melbourne. Sagmeister was responsible for the identity. Koolhaas is responsible for the architecture. Outstanding tile work from the Portugese.

Stick Stack

Kuala Lumpur is very organised with it's rubbish. Lots of neat little stacks ready for pick up. By me it seems. Build things up and watch them fall. Fragile but fun. This is hilarious. Not the video, but the irony of my tight schedule falling apart whilst I was making this little gem. Turned out to be a good exercise in costing experimental film. $200 and hour could work!

Billy Budd

Picked a classic up at the last minute. Fate I guess, although when I still had a telly I caught a bit of Moby Dick the movie. That was not so good but when it comes to the sea I go all kinds of weak.

Handsome Sailor

Thomas J. Scorza has written about the philosophical framework of the story and he understands the work as a comment on the historical feud between poets and philosophers. Melville, in this interpretation, is opposing the scientific, rational systems of thought, which Claggart's character represents, in favor of the more comprehensive poetic pursuit of knowledge embodied by Billy.
