'Void Love' - Stars shine in soap opera_
Date 29th May 2009
It may sound like a strange way to explore astronomy, but the formation of the Universe contains complicated storylines that are perfect for a soap opera.
This is why artists Nicky Forster and Willoh S Weiland have created their 'online cosmological drama', Void Love. "Surely there is no greater melodrama than the unfolding of the Universe itself," Forster said.
The artists will screen the pilot episode of their sound and video work on 31 May 2009, 6.00pm to 7.30pm, at Head Quarters, 55 High St, Northcote, Melbourne, Victoria.
Further episodes will be broadcast online from August 2009. To receive email alerts when episodes become available visit www.voidlove.tv.
Void Love will be narrated by Australian recording artist Kamahl. Its plot centres on a woman awakening from a coma to explore what is known and unknown about the formation of the Universe.
The 'Synapse' residencies, presented by the Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) in partnership with the Australia Council for the Arts, support intensive partnerships between media artists and scientists in research settings both in Australia and internationally.
