This work, commissioned by Campbelltown Arts Centre, was created as part of an online residency in Western Sydney. The residency took the form of an online survey of students in Western Sydney schools that queried participants on their favourite moments, characters and dialogue from film and television. Using this information as a starting point, the work used appropriated footage to weave together a 6-way cross-screen conversation. Spouting occasionally recognizable phrases that then devolve into meaningless cliché, the narrative content of this fragmented back-and-forth hovers somewhere in between familiarity and non-sense.
