Complexity, Change and Dynamic Aesthetics



What are the aesthetic forms -- inherited as well as recently invented --
that help us to understand complexity, change, interactivity and the
investigative impulses?   And how well do our traditional aesthetic criteria
and compositional methods assist us to analyse, evaluate and improve these
forms?  


Ross Gibson makes books, essays and films.  He also produces multimedia
environments and ICT systems for museums and public spaces.  His books
include: THE DIMINISHING PARADISE (1984);  SOUTH OF THE WEST (1992); THE
BOND STORE TALES (1996);  EXCHANGES (1996, editor);  SEVEN VERSIONS OF AN
AUSTRALIAN BADLAND  (2002);  and REMEMBRANCE + THE MOVING IMAGE (2003,
editor).  His films include: CAMERA NATURA (1985), DEAD TO THE WORLD (1991)
and WILD (1993).  His major exhibitions include 'Remembrance + The Moving
Image', 'Street X-Rays', and 'Crime Scene', the latter being part of a suite
of multimedia productions entitled LIFE AFTER WARTIME made in collaboration
with Kate Richards.  Between 1993 and 1996, he was senior consultant
producer during the inaugural phase of the Museum of Sydney.  From 1999 to
early 2002 he was Creative Director for the establishment of the Australian
Centre for the Moving Image at Federation Square in Melbourne.
