about pvi collective
founded in 1998, as an independent artists group and based in perth, western australia, pvi collective create tactical media artworks that seek out radical, darkly humorous solutions for living in an unstable twenty first century. incorporating elements of performance, visual art and intervention, works are often highly participatory, physically demanding, site responsive and politically charged.
pvi our vision is to make ground breaking new forms of interdisciplinary performance and tactical media and to be recognised internationally as australia’s experimental vanguard of interdisciplinary arts. led by kelli mccluskey, steve bull & ofa fotu, core and associate members have backgrounds in visual art, film theory, sound art, new media, performance, psychology and live art. each contribute their diverse skills towards creating artworks for galleries, public sites and alternative spaces
