Commissioned as part of City of Melbourne’s Public Art Program this four screen graphic animation was conceived as the inaugural screen based Signal artwork. Active at night, the work marks and transforms the site by presenting a poetic and elegiac panorama of youth portraiture. The effect is in stark contrast to the city’s mediascape saturated with images of youth as portrayed through corporate marketing.

Signal is an exciting new endeavour that provides an arts facility to Melbourne’s youth. Coinciding with the Festival are its inaugural screen and sound public art commissions. This commission evidences Brophy’s conceptual concerns with contemporary media expressed through a sharp pop sensibility.
