SYNAESTHSIAC is a multidisciplinary project across music, art and performance. Featuring the single L.O.V.E. produced by Quan Yeomans of Regurgitator, the music video incorporated a series of art installations and custom costumes.
Supported by the Creative Sparks Grants Program, an initiative of Brisbane City Council in partnership with the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
Electro Comb saw the transformation of inner city Fish Lane Studios into a one-night-only collaborative performance event across music, dance and sculptural costume. The project was built around the experimental pop music release Electro Comb written and produced by Michelle Xen. Costumes were developed by artist and photographer Gerwyn Davies who created four bespoke headpieces for the dance performers in Electro Comb. The project also involved a shortlisted team of creative interns who developed and produced wearable sculptural accessories for the cast of the music video.
