FOZZA presents: Julian Polson Julian Polson returns to Respite for his second exhibition with FOZZA presents, sharing work remotely from Sydney and continuing to expand the dialogue between sound, vision and community. A music producer and new media artist, Julian is a pioneer in the sound and visual space. Their TouchDesigner and Resolume works are defined by vibrant colour palettes fused with early internet aesthetics, with interactivity and fluidity at the core of their design philosophy. They view visuals as active facilitators of expression and connection within dance environments, part of a dynamic, interconnected exchange of energy. For Respite 2.0, Julian developed a loud visual identity inspired by individuality and community. Utilising an endless colour wheel, film-inspired aesthetics and magazine cut outs, their choice of textures adds an edge distinctive to Julian’s style. Julian has a deeply collaborative and inclusive approach, creating with people rather than for themselves, and fosters a shared ownership through immersive audiovisual experience. I’m very proud to be exhibiting his works here in Melbourne and although he can’t be present, his energy will still be felt through his art.

FOZZA presents: Alison RC Alison.rc is a Paris-based new media artist working with generative visuals and TouchDesigner. Her practice explores the intersection of nature and technology, transforming organic forms into evolving digital compositions. Through layered textures, shifting colour fields, and algorithmic processes, she creates immersive works that blur the boundaries between the botanical and the synthetic. Drawing inspiration from flowers, memory, and natural cycles, Alison’s visuals continuously dissolve and recombine, inviting viewers into a fluid landscape where data behaves like living matter. Her work sits within the emerging wave of computational art, merging poetic sensitivity with real-time digital experimentation. As an in-house video creator from @communion____ , Alison has kindly contributed her experimental works to be exhibited at Respite 2.0. Although she can’t attend due to living across the world, there is something very special about the boundlessness of digital art. Her works are incredibly distinguishable and I’m excited that a part of her creativity will be shared with us in Melbourne tomorrow night. Alison RC @alisonrc_ TouchDesigner Visual Artist Friday 27 February Misfits @misfits.space

FOZZA presents: R.Luvell Lucian Rodriguez Lovell is a Filipino-Australian new media artist, game designer, and academic based in Naarm. Working critically with 3D materials, sensors, game worlds, and machine learning, Rodriguez Lovell works with and against technics to reclaim space, reveal glitches and thresholds of power, playfully subverting interfaces as a form of resistance. His work explores speculative computing futures, racial bias in artificial intelligence, and the in-betweenness of his Filipino-Australian heritage. Their work titled “Silly Walk World” is a real-time 3D simulation speculating on a future where humans perform silly walks as a means to subvert gait surveillance and the datafication of the human body. Contorted humanoid avatars explore the future desolate ruins of a smart city, haunted by expired forms of capital extraction, dead malls and warehouses. The project experiments with 3D scanning technologies, motion capture, machine learning agents, and gait detection. Developed in collaboration with Sculptor Rory Young, Choreographer Geoffrey Watson, New Media Artist Sam McGilp and technical artist Mickey Krekelburg. R.Luvell is one of naarm’s most intriguing new media creatives. His work is one of the most in-depth and extensive I’ve ever seen and I’m so excited for you to see his work at Misfits this Friday at Respite 2.0 ⚡️ Lucian Rodriguez Lovell @r.luvell 3D/Game Designer Friday 27 February Misfits @misfits.space

FOZZA presents: C4PTCH4 C4PTCH4 is less interested in genres and more interested in the spaces between them. They are interested in change-making and community building and have found their sound in the underground experimental scene in Naarm. By breaking down the walls between genres, C4PTCHA seeks to create a sonic intersection where community is built through shared, wordless experience. By weaving together an experimental array of genres, they are proving that the most profound conversations happen without saying a single word. As a multifaceted creative, C4PTCH4 sees the world in a distinctive light; blending reality with the digital realm, amplified by sound. Their selections sonically reflect their unique perception of their environment. C4PTCH4 @de_bug_001 7 - 8pm Friday 27th Feb Misfits @misfits.space

As a DJ, curator and new media artist Cynetic’s talents traverse the digital landscape and manifest into the physical and will be exhibiting her talents as both DJ and visual artist at Respite 2.0.

FOZZA presents: F!NN F!NN is a non-binary visual artist, DJ and producer from Naarm. With multiple A/V sets and various performances at Miscellania under their belt F!NN aims to create a solid visual soundscape within a creative world that serves the community before them.  Melding energetic and synthesized elements with dark twists and turns, F!NN explores the evolutions of electro and bass music. They generate an ever changing atmosphere within their sets, unconcerned by genre conventions. Aiming to develop unpredictable yet dynamic stories on the dance floor that uplift all and acknowledge the rich history of techno and its origins . Combining fragmented vocals, funk infused electronics and endless broken percussion, F!NN looks to draw people into what makes themself lose it on the dancefloor.  A multitalented artist, F!NN combines their affinity with sound and visuals to produce real-time reactions of sonic manipulation. Utilising live frequencies during their set through TouchDesigner, F!NN’s performance is not to be missed. F!NN @f1nn_p4lma 9-10pm Friday 27th February Misfits @misfits.space

FOZZA presents: Jamê With a musical upbringing in basement clubs, smoke filled dance-floors, and sleazy Sunday afternoons, a true specialist in the dark art of staying a bit too late and getting weird. Expect a record bag brimming with forgotten gems, wiggly baselines and deep cuts, a perfect soundtrack whether the sun is shining with a spritz in hand, the room is dark and hazy, or you’ve just realised it’s getting light outside, and the birds are waking up. All the way from Lutruwita, Jamê bring his incredible energy, endless catalog of vinyl and various files to end the night on a delectable high. Can’t wait for you all to experience his mind bending way of shifting waveforms. Jamê @jam.e___ 11:30pm - 1am Friday 27th February Misfits @misfits.space
