I am currently making instalations and performance in the virtual world of Secondlife. This has been my prefered creative platform for the last two years because of the possiblity to meet international artists and bring together most 2 and 3D mediums, like multi-media, sculpture and animation, in real time.
I am interested in that which lays between, the area where binary codes and constructs collapse and cease to function. Gender bending and blending is in my experience the only area that truly confronts and breaks down all these codes.
I am a multimedia artist exploring the integration and interaction of dance and moving image through performance, screen, installation and online work. I am also photographer, documenter and director. I am currently an Australia Council for the Arts Fellow http://suzonfuks.net
Born in Brussels, I trained in dance, theatre & music (69-76), completed a Masters in Visual Arts at La Cambre, Brussels (79-84), and moved to Australia in 1996. Co-artistic director of Igneous http://www.igneous.org.au, I created the multimedia projections for, and directed, most of its productions. I give lectures and workshops in Australia & Europe integrating video with performing arts & fostering multimedia artistic collaboration.
I am a writer, theatre practitioner & digital artist from New Zealand, currently based in Munich, Germany. I hold a Master of Arts (Research) investigating my practice of cyberformance, that is live performance on the internet. I am a founding member of the globally dispersed cyberformance troupe Avatar Body Collision, and part of the UpStage project, an open source web-based platform for cyberformance.
