- This is the story of the "State of Electronics", a documentary about the art and science of electronics and how it coincided with the modern formation of our society. Electronics starts out as digital in telegraphy in what has been dubbed the "Victorian Internet". It then changes state to analogue with the advent of the valve and Lee De Forest's "triode", becoming Radio - later Television. Transistors change its form in the '50s and '60s into "solid-state". Integrated circuits herald another change with the miniaturisation of hardware and the "space race" in the late '60s and '70s. The advent of electronic calculators, computers and micro-controllers bring about the true digital age, with computational and computer programming changing the "state of electronics" into both hardware and software. The internet is born, forever changing what electronics means to most.
- Over a glass of red wine one evening, fine artist Robert Clinch, and collector, Jeff Brown postulated a fun idea, "What if we could find a Goggomobil Dart sports-car and paint Robert's signature paper darts on it?" And so the story begins. G, O, G-G, O. What starts as a simple "art car" project quickly reveals itself to be a fascinating mix of art and engineering, combining car racing, automotive design and a passion for collecting art and fascinating objects, in one documentary. Overcoming personal loss, technical issues, and looming time constraints, Robert struggled to deliver the project in time for a major exhibition in Melbourne. The story intertwines exhaustive technical investigation and countless hours of fastidious hand-painting within a historical context, of how the car was designed and marketed in Australia, to produce a truly unique objet d'art. In an era where car manufacturing in Australia has come to an end, perhaps this project memorialises that change. Robert's work often depicts industrial decay and evolution and perhaps the D'art project is an uplifting and engaging reflection of the change in our motoring history. Ultimately, the project celebrates "fun" and is a wild ride through Australian popular culture. Featuring the car's designer Bill Buckle, enduring actors Tommy Dysart and his wife Joan Brockenshire, who made it a household catchphrase, and the legacy of the Joseph Brown collection, this amusing documentary is supported by some of Australia's pre-eminent art and car professionals and collectors.
