Debby Friday: Artist-in-Residence - V for Virtual

Western Front is pleased to present V FOR VIRTUAL, a new audio-visual play by Debby Friday. The work is the final instalment of a sci-fi sonic theatre trilogy that began with her graduate thesis project, LINK SICK, followed by the immersive installation VOW, and was produced while in residence at Western Front.

In this cumulative project, the future world of VIRTUAL finds itself under siege of corrupted code, warring factions, and rolling whiteouts from ABC Inc. And still, the rave rages on. The project incorporates a fusion of new media approaches to visual and sound art, including multi-channel audio, experimental music production, generative art, chroma keying, algorithmic composition, and references to mixed reality.

V FOR VIRTUAL runs for 30 minutes. Click the link below to register to attend a session. Proof of vaccination is required for attendance.

Time: Mar 10: 6:00, 7:00 & 8:00 p.m. & Mar 11 – 12: 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 & 4:00 p.m.

While in residence, Debby Friday will develop, produce, and present a new audio-visual play under the working title V FOR VIRTUAL. The work is the final instalment of her sci-fi sonic theatre trilogy that began with her graduate thesis project, LINK SICK, followed by the immersive installation VOW. In this cumulative project, the future world of VIRTUAL finds itself under siege of corrupted code, warring factions, and rolling whiteouts from ABC Inc. And still, the rave rages on. Following Friday’s proclivity towards hybridity in art making, this project incorporates a fusion of new media approaches to visual and sound art, including multichannel audio, experimental music production, neural networks, generative art, chroma keying, algorithmic composition, and references to mixed reality.
