The Generosity of a Light Touch
Feature
Shiralee Saul

For the more than 15 years that the Australian organisation Experimenta Media Arts has metamorphosed through various ideological, aesthetic and technological identities, its one constant has been a passionate involvement with and championing of the new and experimental.

David McNeill
