Alex Vivian is a name appearing in so many cracks, crevasses and one-man acts; no one is finding it easy to keep up. He may have caught your attention some time ago with his noise art, and then, while you were letting yourself be sucked into the whirring hypnosis, Vivian tapped you on the shoulder to invite you to Sydney. And while you were in Sydney he was drawing together a pool of over twenty artists for a show in Melbourne.
Between stumbling about and following him around like a blinded-by-lust fangirl, we've caught our breath to tell you about just one of his umpteen endeavours. His latest feat, Ye Medieval, Vivian exposes his deep-seated nerdy tendencies by presenting a collection of collages and drawings based on Dungeons and Dragons and Medieval themed comic books. These illustrations resemble images from the magic eye phenomenon in the style of LSD blotter sheets. So, when you're cross-eyed and freaking out because you can't see the D&D cockatrice when your friend can, who knows what Vivian might be up to next.
