Seeing is believing. On the new RealTime website, launched today, you can now enjoy art firsthand as well as read evocative critiques of it. What's more, we're also commissioning; four intriguing works in our Video Gallery have been curated and responded to by Lauren Carroll Harris. In Critical Video we've paired video works with appreciations, continuing our commitment to the word in the rapidly diminishing realm of considered criticism. Soon we'll add sound art, music and performance. We've opened the Deep Archive, unearthing reviews and interviews from the 1990s, revived RealTime Traveller (Jason Phu in Chiang Mai this week) and RealTime TV (an interview with filmmaker Gaylene Preston as part of our coverage of the Stranger With My Face Film Festival). Our new address is www.realtime.org.au. Come with us into the next phase of RealTime's long history. Virginia, Keith, Lauren
CRITICAL VIDEO: SIMONE HINE Brisbane artist Simone Hine's Corridor is the first in a fortnightly series in which our writers (here it's Melbourne-based Elyssia Bugg) craft pithy appreciations of video works by Australian artists.
STRANGER WITH MY FACE: DISCOVERING GAYLENE PRESTON
Lauren Carroll Harris is taken with genre-bending 1984 and 2003 feminist films by the New Zealand filmmaker, a special guest at this year's SWMF in Hobart.
