After the success of Spectrum, the Cyberthon artists were invited by Telstra to create a submission for an exhibition called The Edge, to be displayed at the Telstra Corporate Center on Exhibition Street. This demo was presented to Telstra at an annual meeting held at Dallas Brooks Hall.
The demo shows a CGI artists impression of the proposed ‘The Edge exhibition’ space as well as a simulation of the media submission process via the interactive Cyberthon VAT (V=Video, A=Audio, T=Text) porthole created using Deluxe Paint, with presentation edited in Scala on an Amiga 2000.
Animation loops that appear in simulated submission section were created by Ian Haig, Cyber Dada (Troy Innocent and Dale Nason), Don’t Shoot the Messenger (Steve Middleton & Attillio Gangemi), Tekno Mandala (Adem Jaffers), Julian Wong, Mish Fingers (Misha Hollenbach), Derek Shiel, Martine Corompt, and Force Fed (Stuart McCormick). Video camera footage was shot by Dale Nason from the back of a Chris Wrights moving van. 35mm still photographs were taken by Tao Wiess. Audio track was mixed by DJ Visitor (Andrew Till).
This work is part of the Cyberthon Archive, generously donated to ACMI by Adem Jaffers.
