Radio essays and media art

In the 1990s Neumark made a series of audio essays for the Listening Room, the premier radio arts program of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC Radio National). Several were also broadcast on New American Radio. [6]

Radiophonic essays include
Jobs for the Girls, or What Do You See When You Look in the Mirror? (1991)
Into the Interface (1994)
Shock (1995)
Separation Anxiety: not the truth about alchemy (1996)
Dead Centre: the body with organs (1998)
Esprit de Corps: oscillating with emotion (1999)
First Report (2003)

In 2003 she initiated and collaborated on the radio/internet drama Checklist for an Armed Robber. This was an ABC/UTS project. [7]

In the 1990s Neumark initiated several projects in new media art, exploring the potential for sound in the new medias. Initially, she made CDROM art, making one of the first Australian art CDROMs, the multi-award-winning Shock in the Ear, with an innovative use of sound. It was one of the first CDROMs to be funded by the Australian Film Commission (1997). Shock in the Ear was included in the international CDROM exhibition Contact Zones: the art of CDROM, curated by Timothy Murray. (1999) [8]

Awards for Shock in the Ear

Shock in the Ear was also a new media installation shown at Artspace, Sydney (1997) and Artemesia Gallery, Chicago (1997). [12]

Other collaborative new media installations

Volcano a new media installation, [15] Artspace, Sydney 2001 and invited to "Gegenort - The Virtual Mine," 2001, Germany. [16]

In 2004 Neumark, in collaboration with Maria Miranda, made Searching for rue Simon-Crubellier, [17] ostensibly a search through the streets and bureaucracies of Paris for the fictive street written about by Georges Perec in his celebrated novel Life: A User’s Manual . This project began a new series of mobile works, with searching acting as the frame and motif for performative encounters with strangers. Other mobile works include: Talking About the Weather (2006), [18] [19] [20] In Search of the Inland Sea (2008), [21] and Down the Drain (2011).[ citation needed ]

In 2007 Neumark co-curated the exhibition Weather Trouble. [22]

In 2010 she co-curated Memory Flows at the Armory, Sydney. [21]

In addition to other awards, Neumark has had residencies at both the MacDowell Colony [23] in New Hampshire in 2006 and the Cité internationale des arts [24] in Paris in 2006. [2]
