- Kim Kielhofner People
Kim Kielhofner is an artist whose practice centers on the question what can you do with what you have; she uses everyday materials and processes to generate work rather than predefine it, placing the self into social and historical processes through repetitive projection into overriding narratives. She works with books, installation, sound, performance and video and collects images every day; her practice explores intimacy, multisensory experience, memory, perception, horror and relief. Her work is process-oriented and designed to engage viewers rather than produce fixed outcomes; website http://www.giantpixie.com.

- Justin Wiggan People
Justin Wiggan works with phonics, text, film, object changing and drawing to produce interface solutions to problems he has identified; his artefacts and documents respond to shouts, screams, shrieks, wails, hoots, howls, death rattles and sobs absorbed by unfinished urban structures. He reports responding and disappearing in the swollen bellies of cityscapes while discovering links between the internal tourist and the external explorer; he critiques modernisation and repetitive consumer aisles and argues that visual culture relegates sound to warning signals. He extracts sound from environments and re-presents it in other formats; website: http://www.justinwiggan.moonfruit.com/

- Landscape: Mediated Views Bibliography
Landscape: Mediated Views is an exhibition exploring landscape as a cultural construct and as mediated by imaging technologies; it cites Simon Schama and the 18th-century Claude glass and traces a shift from traditional painting to portable black-and-white video in the late 1960s and onward to contemporary digital technologies. The artists’ tapes document geographic, geological, cultural, narrative, interior and policy-related landscapes and consider how portability, camera and non-camera video processes, image processing and media systems alter representation, land use and perceptions over the nearly thirty-year history of the medium.
