4dlux aka Diane James, has a BA in Contemporary Visual Arts from SCU, and a TAFE Multimedia Cert4 and is an ever evolving process through various incarnations of 4th dimension, idesignzmedia and now 4dlux rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the Epicentre in Byron Bay in the mid 90’s when electronic music first appeared on Australian shores.

4dlux produces video projections to inspire the imagination and fire the creative spirit. Live imagery evolves as a response to music creating a synastry of sound and vision driven by contemporary aesthetics of appropriation and deconstruction using found, filmed and fragments of visual artwork to create juxtapositions to challenge the senses and create extraordinary experiences of the most positive kind.
