About

Science fiction allows us to examine the human condition from a distance and our reliance on and love for our smartphones is the greatest sci-fi story of them all.

FX started with the simple idea of making sound effects with voices and syncing them to movement. The work then evolved to become a grander exploration of communication, our interaction with technology and Adam’s continual fascination with young people and their relationship to dance.

FX was supported by Arts Victoria, Megafun, Lucy Guerin Inc, Chunky Move, The Space and 2ND TOE.
