Her practice is grounded in futurism and media arts, spanning moving image, printmaking, illustration, 3D assets, AR research and photogrammetry. Drawing equally on analogue processes and emergent technologies, Phillips explores kinship, place and techno-poetics, often leading collaborative teams to realise ambitious, interdisciplinary projects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.patyounis.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePat Younis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is a real-time artist and Virtual Art Director whose practice moves fluidly across film, contemporary art and music. Since 2018, he has specialised in interactive technologies such as Unreal Engine, working within Virtual Art Departments for major film productions while collaborating with artists on immersive installations and musicians on live visual environments. His work translates creative ideas into tangible virtual realities, positioning real-time space as a site for both technical problem-solving and aesthetic innovation. A longstanding passion for video game technologies informs his hybrid practice, which reimagines the tools as platforms for storytelling, experimentation and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Through this approach, Younis contributes to a growing global community of artists and technologists shaping the future of digital culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jordaneast.com.au\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJordan East\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is a media artist working in Sydney, on the lands of the Gadigal and Wangal peoples. His practice explores the relationship between technology and music through immersive video and augmented physical environments. Spanning video, projection, interactive installation and theatre, his projects often evolve in collaboration with improvisational musicians. At the intersection of experimental electronic music and moving image, his projects interface performers and audiences with technology through sensors and responsive systems. His process employs procedural animation, photogrammetry, real-time generative methods and emerging digital workflows to blur the boundaries between physical and virtual worlds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"about-the-artist\" class=\"panel\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"940\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"41\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eTextile Selection - Screen Printed in WA: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"940\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"41\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eGildan Comfort Colors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e tees aim to be more sustainable than many standard T-shirts by using a proprietary dyeing method called \u003cstrong data-start=\"146\" data-end=\"163\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003ePigment Pure™\u003c\/strong\u003e, which significantly cuts water use (about three times less) and energy consumption, reduces processing time, and eliminates the need for added salt compared with conventional reactive dyeing processes, helping lower environmental impact during production.
