Luke Roberts: AlphaStation/Alphaville
Performance artist Luke Roberts has been a key figure in the Brisbane art scene for over three decades. He has developed an intricate personal mythology that collapses personal and political, local and cosmological, and past and future to offer a unique spin on themes of religion, sexuality, and human history.

Ian Haig: Chronicles of the New Human Organism
Imagine putting a video camera into the hands of a Death Valley outsider artist convinced that the mother ship is about to land, and that when it does a new phase of human evolution will begin. Melbourne artist Ian Haig's Chronicles of the New Human Organism is such a film.
