He is a member of the deeply interesting bands Bum Creek, F ingers and Tarcar—he’s also behind LST and several other incognito projects. Tarquin Manek’s private wilderness can be dense and rewardingly challenging to navigate. Pitched somewhere between folk-tale and science fiction: Manek’s psycho-acoustic landscaping culminates in puzzle-boxes of insinuating, paranormal resonances, wrought out of wracked bedroom psychedelia, gloopy alien concrète and dubwise, third-eye-open sound design. | |||||

Their work often explores hypnagogic and liminal states such as dreams, visions, reverie and wonder, and their interest in these states is, however, less about what they might reveal about the psychology of individual audience members, and more in their significance as a shared experience that may reflect broader social narratives and concerns.
The Unconscious Collective’s recent projects include a digital confessional, a social sleeping and dreaming experiment at a motel, a pop-up AM radio station, a giant singing bowl in a dis-used quarry, sound sculptures using the dreams of primary school children and a cardiophonic furniture suite for a medical research centre.
Unconscious Collective artists involved in this project are Michelle Boyde, David Patman, Matt Warren and Ritchie Cyngler. 
Michelle Boyde is an Australian artist, designer and curator based in Tasmania. With a background in dance and oriental health therapies, she is currently interested in how art and design can be used to imagine more inter-connected and better looking futures. Michelle is co-founder and design director for Unconscious Collective.
David Patman is a social theorist, digital artist and consultant who works with the unconscious social dynamics of groups and communities. Trained as an engineer with a PhD in social theory, David is interested in the sociology and cybernetics of sleeping and dreaming. David is co-founder and director of the Unconscious Collective.
Matt Warren is a Hobart-based electronic media artist, musician, curator, radio presenter and writer. His art practice encompasses immersive electronic installation, single channel video and sound works. His works investigate memory, transcendence, liminal spaces and suspension of disbelief. His music and sound practice has a basis in both composition and improvisation. Matt has exhibited, produced sound works and had screenings in Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, USA and throughout Australia, and has been working with the Unconscious Collective since its inception in 2014, as a sound designer.
Richie Cyngler is an experimental electronic artist. He works predominantly with free libre open source software, hardware, circuitry, and sensors to make audio-visual interactive performance and installations which engage audiences and participants with the works and each other. Richie began collaborating with Unconscious Collective in 2016 as a software programmer for 'Colloquy of Hearts', a cardiophonic furniture suite for Menzies Institute of Medical Research. |

Their work often explores hypnagogic and liminal states such as dreams, visions, reverie and wonder, and their interest in these states is, however, less about what they might reveal about the psychology of individual audience members, and more in their significance as a shared experience that may reflect broader social narratives and concerns.
The Unconscious Collective’s recent projects include a digital confessional, a social sleeping and dreaming experiment at a motel, a pop-up AM radio station, a giant singing bowl in a dis-used quarry, sound sculptures using the dreams of primary school children and a cardiophonic furniture suite for a medical research centre.
Unconscious Collective artists involved in this project are Michelle Boyde, David Patman, Matt Warren and Ritchie Cyngler.
Michelle Boyde is an Australian artist, designer and curator based in Tasmania. With a background in dance and oriental health therapies, she is currently interested in how art and design can be used to imagine more inter-connected and better looking futures. Michelle is co-founder and design director for Unconscious Collective.
David Patman is a social theorist, digital artist and consultant who works with the unconscious social dynamics of groups and communities. Trained as an engineer with a PhD in social theory, David is interested in the sociology and cybernetics of sleeping and dreaming. David is co-founder and director of the Unconscious Collective.
Matt Warren is a Hobart-based electronic media artist, musician, curator, radio presenter and writer. His art practice encompasses immersive electronic installation, single channel video and sound works. His works investigate memory, transcendence, liminal spaces and suspension of disbelief. His music and sound practice has a basis in both composition and improvisation. Matt has exhibited, produced sound works and had screenings in Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, USA and throughout Australia, and has been working with the Unconscious Collective since its inception in 2014, as a sound designer.
Richie Cyngler is an experimental electronic artist. He works predominantly with free libre open source software, hardware, circuitry, and sensors to make audio-visual interactive performance and installations which engage audiences and participants with the works and each other. Richie began collaborating with Unconscious Collective in 2016 as a software programmer for 'Colloquy of Hearts', a cardiophonic furniture suite for Menzies Institute of Medical Research. |

She is what is referred to as a journey woman, which means she is in the process of learning weaving techniques and stories, and has been weaving for eight years. Originally taught to weave as a young girl, Donna rekindled her love of weaving when she participated in a workshop with master weaver Bronwyn Razem (Gunditijmara). Donna uses a blanket stitch as it is a strong, sturdy stitch that creates baskets that are both practical and beautiful. She uses New Zealand flax in her baskets, which she collects from her local area. Although the plant is not indigenous to Australia, it is strong and wide, making it perfect for Donna’s style of weaving. “As a proud Aboriginal woman, I believe the more we learn about our Indigenous ancestors in Australia, the more we can help people understand the country that we live on and the importance of maintaining a sustainable way of life for all Australians, and future generations to come” — Donna Blackall | |||||

She travelled to India and lived in Sivananda Ashram to further develop her understanding of yoga philosophy and teaching skills. This profound interest led her to successfully complete her teacher certification in India. Bahar understands the importance and benefits of yoga asanas (postures) beyond their physical aspects and virtues. She sees yoga as a tool to nurture self discipline while addressing mental and emotional imbalances or offsets. With a well-travelled background, Bahar has had the opportunity to develop her practice across the world, both as a student and subsequently as a teacher. She has been trained at the best yoga schools in Iran, India, Canada and Australia. Exposure to an array of different cultural contexts has given her the drive to maintain ongoing personal growth and development in yoga practice and instruction. Bahar is driven to expand her own skill base as a teacher while helping others reach their full potential through a unique yoga practice. "Yoga practice is not all about perfecting asanas. It is more an approach of compassion, truth, acceptance and love for oneself and others. Yoga reminds me that basically ‘your issues are in your tissues’. When we move and breath into our tight spots, a whole new perspective becomes available to us." – Bahar Akbaryan | |||||

The studio works with local artisans, craftspeople and draftsmen to design and build projects through an explorative creative process. This includes large scale mock-ups, models big–and–small, material studies, sketches and drawings. The studio’s projects are developed with careful consideration of place and practise while drawing from traditional skills, local building techniques and materials, and the ingenuity that arises from limited resources. The studio’s collective expression in built form—and so too Bijoy Jain’s practice—is deeply informed by the concept of ‘lore’, a body of traditional knowledge passed on by word of mouth. The studio’s philosophy of local collaboration and sensitivity to the landscape and environment is manifest in its stunning headquarters in Alibag (a semi-rural area south–west of Mumbai) and will be similarly but uniquely expressed in MPavilion 2016. Studio Mumbai’s distinctive process and ethos, from conception to built form, has garnered wide-reaching admiration. The studio presented at the XII Venice Biennale and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and has received awards including the Global Award in Sustainable Architecture 2009; Finland’s Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award 2012; the BSI Swiss Architecture Award 2012; and the Grande Medaille d’Or 2014 from the Academie D’Architecture in Paris.

Through his writings (including his caustic masterpiece The Australian Ugliness, which we read from cover to cover over lunch during our 2014/15 season), Boyd inspired the general community; through his architecture, he has become an acknowledged leader in the design and architectural professions. Operating from Walsh Street—the South Yarra house that Boyd designed for himself and his family in 1958—the Robin Boyd Foundation continues his work and spirit through a creative and ongoing series of public learning programs, developed to increase individual and community understanding of design through awareness, literacy and advocacy. | |||||

Their work often explores hypnagogic and liminal states such as dreams, visions, reverie and wonder, and their interest in these states is, however, less about what they might reveal about the psychology of individual audience members, and more in their significance as a shared experience that may reflect broader social narratives and concerns.
The Unconscious Collective’s recent projects include a digital confessional, a social sleeping and dreaming experiment at a motel, a pop-up AM radio station, a giant singing bowl in a dis-used quarry, sound sculptures using the dreams of primary school children and a cardiophonic furniture suite for a medical research centre.
Unconscious Collective artists involved in this project are Michelle Boyde, David Patman, Matt Warren and Ritchie Cyngler.
Michelle Boyde is an Australian artist, designer and curator based in Tasmania. With a background in dance and oriental health therapies, she is currently interested in how art and design can be used to imagine more inter-connected and better looking futures. Michelle is co-founder and design director for Unconscious Collective.
David Patman is a social theorist, digital artist and consultant who works with the unconscious social dynamics of groups and communities. Trained as an engineer with a PhD in social theory, David is interested in the sociology and cybernetics of sleeping and dreaming. David is co-founder and director of the Unconscious Collective.
Matt Warren is a Hobart-based electronic media artist, musician, curator, radio presenter and writer. His art practice encompasses immersive electronic installation, single channel video and sound works. His works investigate memory, transcendence, liminal spaces and suspension of disbelief. His music and sound practice has a basis in both composition and improvisation. Matt has exhibited, produced sound works and had screenings in Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, USA and throughout Australia, and has been working with the Unconscious Collective since its inception in 2014, as a sound designer.
Richie Cyngler is an experimental electronic artist. He works predominantly with free libre open source software, hardware, circuitry, and sensors to make audio-visual interactive performance and installations which engage audiences and participants with the works and each other. Richie began collaborating with Unconscious Collective in 2016 as a software programmer for 'Colloquy of Hearts', a cardiophonic furniture suite for Menzies Institute of Medical Research. |

The studio works with local artisans, craftspeople and draftsmen to design and build projects through an explorative creative process. This includes large scale mock-ups, models big–and–small, material studies, sketches and drawings. The studio’s projects are developed with careful consideration of place and practise while drawing from traditional skills, local building techniques and materials, and the ingenuity that arises from limited resources. The studio’s collective expression in built form—and so too Bijoy Jain’s practice—is deeply informed by the concept of ‘lore’, a body of traditional knowledge passed on by word of mouth. The studio’s philosophy of local collaboration and sensitivity to the landscape and environment is manifest in its stunning headquarters in Alibag (a semi-rural area south–west of Mumbai) and will be similarly but uniquely expressed in MPavilion 2016. Studio Mumbai’s distinctive process and ethos, from conception to built form, has garnered wide-reaching admiration. The studio presented at the XII Venice Biennale and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and has received awards including the Global Award in Sustainable Architecture 2009; Finland’s Spirit of Nature Wood Architecture Award 2012; the BSI Swiss Architecture Award 2012; and the Grande Medaille d’Or 2014 from the Academie D’Architecture in Paris.
