Stimulated by a past working relationship and Laurence¿s research into the ornithological collection of the Australian Museum, the artists address issues of memory, history and science in an exhibition best described as moving.

It presents a case study of the first Gulf War (1990-1991), and explores the levels of representations that go from theatre-of-war image production (footage of pilot screens as they conduct precision bombing), to the redeployment of these images in the media field (use of this footage in televison news broadcasts). This investigation of image circulation in digital warfare is underpinned by the work of Jean Baudrillard and Paul Virilio, particularly their theories of simulacrum and the rhetoric of the image.The central theme of Great Western Highway is the penetration of market forces into the social fabric of contemporary Western societies such as Australia. The novel also provides a model of structural innovation that revives experimentation within narrative form in contemporary Australian writing, which has traditionally been e ntrenched in realist modes. The research methodology of the project was highly interdisciplinary, involving engagements with Thatcherism; corporeal narratology (Punday); theories of the culture industry (Horkheimer & Adorno); the French nouveau roman (Simon); Modernism (Joyce, Celine); and aspects of Postmodernism that deal with popular culture and self-reflexivity in the literary and media fields (Jameson, Warhol). The novel was written with the assistance of three New Work grants from the Literature Board of the Australia Council, and highly commended in the NSW Writers' Fellowship 2000.

It did so by employing a algorithmically determined relationship between sound and image. The audio element of the performance was designed to interact with the image in a structure designed around the ideas of fractal editing observed in data averaging the form of traditional Hollywood cinema editing over decades. Contribution - Using these techniques (generated in the composition of the soundtrack using the software Nodal) the piece posits a way forward in the live image sound relationship. Pairing the performance of carefully constructed wave like sound structures with more organically played image sequences. Significance - This new piece forms a work of significant research in finding a new language for the relationship between sound and image based on the meta structure of traditional cinematic language. It forms the basis for the compositions and performances of The Field group in 2009 and 2010 funded by the Inter-Arts board of the Australia Council.
