Tina Gonsalves
“Over the last four years I have created, edited and produced many animation/ video and Web art pieces. These have been involved in various film festivals and exhibitions such as: the Pan Pacifica Festival in Amsterdam, the 1999/1998 Melbourne and Sydney Film Festivals, the 1998 Montevideo Festival, MAAP 1998, ArtRage 1998, and the 1998 LOUD Short Film Festival. My work was invited to take part in the 1999 and the 2000 European Media Arts Festival in Osnabrük, Germany. Swelling is currently touring nationally with the D’art Dlux Media 1999/2000 Tour. Touch was a finalist in the 1999 Nescafe Short Film Award. Touch will also tour nationally with The Women on Women Film Festival. Touch and Swelling were invited to take part in the 4ième Manifestation Internationale Video et Art Électronique which took place in Montreal in September 1999. Twelve pieces were included in the 1999 Independent Exposure World Tour. Wounded was awarded Best Animation at the 1999 F1 Digital Film Festival. In May, The Division Media Arts Festival in Austria had a retrospective screening of all of my collaborative work with sound artist Mark Eden.”
