Tim Webster – Bio

Tim Webster’s work engages video, installation and performance to explore the often-fractured rhythm of the everyday and our experience of it. In particular, his work considers how those experiences are recorded – be it emotionally, physically or technologically – and later, how they are reconstructed and re-lived.

Past projects include Forever, For Later (2011), a forty screen multi-channel video collage presented at Screen Space, Melbourne; In Periscope (2010) a city walking tour in which participants wear headgear to redirect their gaze upward to disrupt their habitual, horizontal experience; Wonderlands: Cristo Redentor (2009), a sculptural video installation exploring the memory of experience and the experience of memory, presented at Blindside Gallery, Melbourne; and Machu Picchu (2007 - 2010), a folded time video collage at Seventh Gallery, Melbourne and FILE Festival, São Paulo, Brazil; Affective Urbansim 5 (2008), a process driven installation exhibited at Bus Gallery, Melbourne; Affective Urbanism 4 (2008), a multi-screen video installation at Kings Gallery, Melbourne; and The Way We Look (2008-2010), a public installation at Federation Square created in collaboration with representatives of Melbourne’s Sudanese community and curated by Robyn Archer.

Tim Webster is the former director of Bus Projects and served as a Board Member for the Arts Industry Council of Victoria, Artabase and Bus Projects. He currently lives in Melbourne.
