Soft Serve, Soft Serve… What can we say about Soft Serve?



Firstly… It’s crazy. We mean, really crazy. Like some weird space time flux it tests the boundaries of what we think is real.




Follow the band through a warped storyline revolving around ice cream,
featuring a cast of freaks in hoodies who torment the soft serve
obsessed office worker and the Mr Drippy van run by a crazy ice cream
man who extrudes dodgy soft serve from his mouth.




Soft Serve combines music, sound and visuals in a slightly crazy – no -
insane performance that anyone who’s slightly eccentric or just
downright warped in the head will love. Jam to sounds of the ice cream
jingle from your childhood, giggle hysterically as you see what REALLY
goes into soft serve and run in fear of the deformed freaks that will
haunt your dreams for nights to come.




Soft Serve is Jonathan Crossley (guitars), Janus van der Merwe (sax,
keys and voice), Isaac Klawansky (drums), Stefan Henrico (bass) and
Pippa Stalker (animation and visuals).

Digital Manipulations in the new Baragwanath Taxi Rank

October 3rd, 2008 by Tegan

Just a quick announcement that Nils Eichberg’s digitally manipulated photographs that focus on the history of colour are now part of the permanent public art installation on the new Baragwanath taxi rank.

In July this year the Digital Art Division at the WSOA featured Nils Eichberg and Olivier Schildt in one of our weekly Soiree sessions. They were speaking about their use of computer manipulation and use of colour in a of series of artworks that were on show at Resolution Gallery at the time.

I’m very excited to see Nils’ work as part of an urban public art program.
