Ross Manning, NEW12 Artist Interview, ACCA 2012

Ross Manning works with deconstructed lo-fi domestic technologies to create performative, kinetic, assemblage-based works. Interested in instrument building and sound sculpture, he also performs in bands such as Faber Castell and Sky Needle. Through his installations and optical works, Manning explores the effects of light, movement and sound, as well as how energy moves from one form to another.
