Cathy Vogan is based in Sydney since 2003. She has previously resided in France, Australia and the UK. Ms Vogan is a 20 year+ broadcast professional and Apple Certified Trainer, who is skilled in many areas, including graphic design, editing, compositing, animation, DVD authoring and web design. She is also a prolific media artist.
In 85, while still a student at Sydney College of the Arts, Vogan won her first of 8 international video awards, and 2 years later, moved to Paris, where she co-founded Fearless Studios: a broadcast post production facility. Resident in Paris for 16 years, she edited, composited and directed for the broadcast industry; and in parallel, made her own films, multi-media installations and theatrical events. Vogan has shown her work throughout the world, including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, Brazil, the USA and Australia, and for the last 10 years, maintains a high profile online, through her website vogania.com, which receives up to 40000 visitors per month.
Vogans third activity has been as a theoretical and hands-on lecturer in digital media, since 1988 (University of Paris VIII, Ecole du Frenois, KHS Cologne, Eurpoean School of Visual Arts, Poitiers, France), and she has continued teaching in both the educational and corporate sectors, since her return to Australia in 2003 (AFTRS, COFA ABC, DISNEY, ANIMAL LOGIC). She has also been active as a broadcast designer, editor-compositor and technical consultant. |

FEARLESS
Studios, Paris
Co-founded, with
French artist Dominik Barbier, FEARLESS: the first broadcast facility dedicated to electronic creation. Partially funded on an annual and individual grant basis, by several departments of the Ministere
de la Culture de de la Communication (DAP, DRAC, CNAP), to
receive and produce media artists, and partially financed by public
and private commission. For 7 years, my specific rle was to post-produce
the work of scores of French and international artists, e.g. Alain Renais (France), Ko Nakajima (Japan)
and Robert Longo (USA).
The FEARLESS Artists
FEARLESS was composed of 3 permanent
in-house artists: Dominik Barbier, Cathy Vogan and Leonard Faulon. The
other members of the group were Robert Cahen, Yann N'Guyen Minh and
Jean Claude Poirel. Many films, electronic sculptures,and large-scale,
theatrical installations were created at the studios by these core members,
operating both as solo artists and as collaborators. Of note: <
THE NO WAY BUSTER PROJECT > (1989), spectacle mutant by BARBIER/ VOGAN, which involved 6 synchronized video sources, 600
sq. metres of sculpture and walk-through environment, and a 23' "main
event".
 .........................................................................................................................................................................
FEARLESS achievements
In 1989 Fearless, with Bernard Szajner
receives the commission: < ESPRIT DE LA REVOLUTION >, spectadclar
for the French Bicentenary at the Jardin des Tuilleries, and produces the material for 3 countries at
the World Expo, Seville in 1992. the Fearless team collaborates
artistically with such figures as TERRY GILLIAM Moebius, Pierre Schaeffer, and especially, Heiner
Muller, with their 1994 biographical documentary < I WAS HAMLET > (73' Direction:
D. Barbier; Image and Post-production: C. Vogan), and the 7-year project: < HAMLET MACHINE >, a large-scale electronic and stage production of his seminal work,
which premired in Marseille in May 2003.
FEARLESS Medi@terrannee 2007
In 1997, Fearless
moved to Marseille, where it still operates today under the above-mentioned
name. The new High Definition facility continues to welcome resident
artists, and focuses primarily on hybrid art forms, situating the productions at the crossroads between Electronic
Creation and Theatre. A new company has emerged witin this
context of live theatrical performance: COMETH (Compagnie d'Explorations
des Territoires Hybrides). My last on-site envolvement with the company
was for the production of "Hamlet Machine". It is now via FTP.
Fearless Cathy Vogan
Over
the 16 years I spent in Paris, I created and exposed many personal works,
in the form of single tapes, video-sculptures, installations and theatrical
events, including two electronic ballets: < TALOS &
KOINE > (1988), and for
TELECOM INTERACTIVE, <TOUCH> (1999). Another major work: < THE NIGHT OF THE FULL MOON > (2000), took the form of a 3-hour live-to-air television broadcast
for the Franco-German Cultural Channel, ARTE. This event was given to
me after the success of their 52' documentary, < THREE APPROACHES > (Dir. Matthias Behrens), which focused on my work, and that of two
other artists, Hanno Baethe and Alexander Hahn.
