About pvi collective
Founded 1998 in Perth, Australia
pvi collective live and work in Perth
Established in 1988, pvi collective’s members include visual artists, video artists, researchers, musicians, performance artists and geeks. Artworks incorporate elements of performance, visual art and intervention and seek out radical, darkly humorous solutions for living in an unstable twenty-first century. transumer (2010) is a site-specific intervention created specially for the beauty of distance that encourages audiences to clandestinely take over their city in preparation for an anti-consumerist uprising. Armed with a customised iPhone programmed with cutting edge augmented reality software, particpants are invited to roam The Rocks, plot the end of what they don’t like about their metropolis, and create invisible tags revealing strategies for a modern day insurrection.
