The Aussie MilkBar is an icon in it's own right. Created as a thesis for it's creator Craig Bellamy, http://www.milkbar.com.au is a site showcasing the inner Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy as well as some of the locals who visit the local milkbar. The site delves into globalisation issues, as well as providing an oral history of the place and point in time. Do you love visiting your favourite milkbar either now or during your childhood? Take a photo and submit it to the site and be a part of the project yourself!

flEXiff is a global community cultural development and screen culture initiative by CINEWEST, which expands across 2 decades. flEXiff invites image makers and multimedia artists who are willing to:
-Disperse their work universally and eternall
-Challenge the already existing alternative model structures that are merely a verisimilitude for the mainstream industry
-Deconstruct the commercial values projected for particular art works by particular producers, promoters and distributors

N o C o n c e p t -- A State of Being

Pocket-earthquakes and underwater-phenomena, muezzin singing from church steeple, a brass orchestra at half speed, digestion sounds out of Polish synthesizers, building instructions for home security cameras, heavy bass
concerts by low-riders, swaying pillars of bridges, mobile phones that cause entire walls to vibrate, cooking as a means of self-defence... not enough? The 7th annual garage festival, which will take place from the 25th of July until the 16th of August, seeks to explore the methods and points of view of the creative process by looking at the principles and manifestations of insecurity and disorientation. The festival presents exhibitions, installations, concerts/ performances, lectures, films and workshops over the course of three weeks.
