Woah. That was intense. For those who were at Shoot, many thanks for your attendance. It surely was an awesome night and the turnout was great.

Many thanks to all the performers, musicians and artists who made it such a grand occasion.

Many thanks to all the volunteers who worked the door, bar and other odd jobs that were required in order to make it such a special occasion.

Thanks to Friends of the Earth and Six Degrees for their efforts in helping putting on this event. Special thanks also to Reverse Garbage for helping us out.

Thanks also to Wade from The Alley for providing the venue. What a cool space, eh?

Kudos to some of new friends from within the arts and entertainment industry, such as 2High and the people behind Valley Fiesta for letting us promote Shoot. Also thanks to business such as Nelson Molloy for letting us use their shop window to promote the event. Extra thanks goes out to those involved in Brisbane Parking Day, as well.

As the 4C webguy, I’ll take a moment to thank my fellow team members of the 4C Arts Collective – four months of hard work certainly paid off!

Photos and videos will appear on this site as soon as we recover.

In the meantime, make sure you follow the collective on Facebook and Twitter.

If you’re a creative type and are interested in helping us out for our next event, feel free to get in contact via the email address 4carts at the mail that is g dot com [also written in the webheader!].

Shoot Performer Profile: Aukistra

Written by Darragh on September 29, 2010 — 1 Comment

A product of the mid 80’s, Aukistra’s life changed forever when at the age of 8 he received his first Tandy issue drum machine.

From there, a long love affair with funky, electro laden music began.

Learning to mix vinyl at fashion and art shows from fifteen, Aukistra has now been playing venues and parties for over nine years. With an EP set to be released later this year – under the alias “Distorted Digital” alongside DJ partner Shaun Styles – Aukistra has been in studio lock down for the past few months, sleeping alongside old school analogue synths and sequencers and always fishing for inspiration from his pre-1940’s record collection.

His new set aims to be a smash and grab of original tunes, remixes, and music from the last 20 years mixed live and on the fly using Ableton, an Akai APC40 and an arsenal of effect machines.

Aukistra plays at Shoot from Midnight until 1pm.

Shoot Performer Profile: DJ #dave

Written by Darragh on September 29, 2010 — 1 Comment

After having read countless shitty, self aggrandising bios from various bands and artists over the years DJ #dave never thought he would have to write his own, but here he is and doing it in the 3rd person no less. Greaaaaat.

Like most other DJs, DJ #dave loves music, likes to party, dance, and to make other people dance – pretty simple really. After hanging around the studios of 4ZzZ for the better part of a decade he finally decided to emerge from his solitary confinement in the music library and don his headphones for the dancefloor as well.

And since doing so he has been fortunate enough to do so at Rics, Valley Fiesta, Club 299, Blink/Trash, Cominatcha and various house parties. More recently he has also been getting his groove on filling in for Da Funk (show)back on 4ZzZ.

DJ #dave plays Shoot from 11:00 pm until Midnight.

Shoot Artisan Profile: The Bookery Cook Fridge by Georgia Thompson

Designer: Georgia Thompson
Technical Assistance: Paul Mason, Bashkim Isai

The Bookery Cook is an interactive work that brings the household cookbook to life. The work extends itself beyond paper and places itself upon the hub of the home, the refrigerator. By drawing on the themes of the timeless family recipe book you are able to browse through recipes by matching ingredients together. Built using modern database and flash technologies, magnetic tiles allow you to find a recipe based on a combination of ingredients.

The Bookery Cook Interactive is an innovative medium for accessing recipes contained within a work-in-progress cookbook of the same name. The illustrations are designed to represent each ingredient with dramatic line, colour and patterns to inspire and extend the palate visually. The ingredient tiles are the focus of the work, as are the ingredients that constitute a meal.

The work targets our biggest and perhaps most cherished form of consumption. By designing itself into a home’s refrigerator, it provides a functional and fun interaction for home inhabitants to create, cook, and colour their kitchen with food!

Shoot Artisan Profile: Liana Evans

Written by Darragh on September 24, 2010 — Leave a Comment

Liana EvansLiana is primarily a printmaker but works in both installation and projection based mediums. In her works she explores the realms of science and art, taking inspiration from natural forms. She seeks to encourage the viewer to acknowledge the complexities of life; to take a step back from our commercial reality and to appreciate the truly unique species that inhabit the world. Her realistic illustrations of holometabolous insect cases represent the changing form; the altered and hollowed cocoon of its former self echo the intricacy of the cycle in which it undertakes. The discarded shell is worthy of as much adoration as the creature who left it behind.

Title of works: Out Grown
Dimensions: 15 works 12cm x 12cm
Materials: Felt pens and graphite on paper
