A Filibuster of Dreams by Sarah Rodigari, 2012

From 1am - 5am on FBI radio, over a period of four hours, starting with the letter A, Rodigari make her way through the Sydney White Pages toasting as many people as she possibly can. This continuous toasting is a filibuster to help people to sleep better and dream easier through the night. This repetitive toasting is ritualistic, telepathic chant, that may leave the entire population of Sydney waking well rested, bright eyed and full of potential joy. Throughout this time people are invited to request a toast in honour of themselves. The speech runs continuously for four hours. The only breaks had is if someone calls in...or when Rodigari needs a toilet break, which is when one song is played repeatedly, Six Six Six by Melodie Nelson. This performance is part of Time Machine, a time based arts festival presented by Serial Space. This excerpt was taken halfway through.

Terra Australis: 750BC - 2012AD by Mark Shorter, 2012

At Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art in May 2012 the creature Schleimgurgeln lectured on Australian landscape painting. Schleimgurgeln's understanding of the Australian landscape extends well beyond the early colonial paintings of European artists like John Glover and Eugene von Guerard. Indeed, his vision is inspired by 2000 years of European Antipodean imaginings. The character “Schleimgurgeln”, can be understood as representing an imagined incarnation of the European Other within the Australian landscape. Just as Europeans once projected their desires upon the Antipodes in the form of various perverse and grotesque creatures, Schleimgurgeln can be understood as performing a strange inversion of this historical tendency.

Klein Bottles -In mathematics, the Klein bottle /ˈklaɪn/ is an example of a non-orientable surface; informally, it is a surface (a two-dimensional manifold) in which notions of left and right cannot be consistently defined. Other related non-orientable objects include the Möbius strip and the real projective plane. Whereas a Möbius strip is a surface with boundary, a Klein bottle has no boundary (for comparison, a sphere is an orientable surface with no boundary). more

Work No. 850 by Martin Creed, 2008

Work No. 850 centres on a simple idea: that a person will run as fast as they can every thirty seconds through the gallery. Each run is followed by an equivalent pause, like a musical rest, during which the grand Neoclassical gallery is empty. more

Nam June Paik, Zen for TV, 1963-1975

"In the desert 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles is a suburb abandoned in advance of itself—the unfinished extension of a place called California City. Visible from above now are a series of badly paved streets carved into the dust and gravel, like some peculiarly American response to the Nazca Lines (or even the labyrinth at Chartrescathedral). Bill & Ted meet Cerne Abbas Man. The uninhabited street plan has become an abstract geoglyph—unintentional land art visible from airplanes—not a thriving community at all. " more

Sometimes what looks like Nothing is the best place to find the most interesting Somethings.

Everything & Nothing [1/2] (by silichip)

"The first part, Everything, sees Professor Al-Khalili set out to discover what the universe might actually look like. The journey takes him from the distant past to the boundaries of the known universe. Along the way he charts the remarkable stories of the men and women who discovered the truth about the cosmos and investigates how our understanding of space has been shaped by both mathematics and astronomy."
