Short Bio
The
Transmute Collective was formed in 1998 and
is based in Queensland, Australia. The three core members are Keith Armstrong artistic
director/new media visual design, Lisa O’Neill – performance
director and Guy Webster – sound
director.
Transmute has developed and presented numerous ambitious, large-scale
new media projects that have been shown widely throughout Australia and
overseas, having also pioneered international dual-site performances and
installation works between Brisbane and the UK. To achieve this they have
worked with many different collaborators including engineers, ecological
scientists, human movement scientists, furniture designers and software
designers.
Their major work, Intimate Transactions, was
awarded an honorary mention in the 2005 Prix Ars Electronica and featured
in the CyberArts 2005 exhibition as part of the Ars Electronica Festival
2005 (Austria).
