An exhibition response to Sound Full: Sound in Contemporary Australian and New Zealand Art, Dunedin Public Art Gallery (7 July-12 November, 2012).
ESSAY by PHIL DADSON, 2006
Some years back, having written a few sound stories of my own, I began collecting anecdotes from sound artists and experimental instrument builders I met with whilst travelling in the USA. Each artist would be asked to tell a yarn about a sound experience imprinted on their memory that may have influenced the direction or path they were to take as artists.

Collectively called Polar Projects, Dadson’s suite of works was built from footage recorded over a single week of camping with science teams in the Taylor and Garwood Dry Valleys. It takes seriously the job of providing information, simulation and analysis.
