Main opening titles for Pause Fest Festival 2011, a cutting-edge digital festival held in Melbourne, Australia.

“Pause Fest is a manifestation of the digital and creative industries featuring the world’s most creative minds of the 21st century within the Melbourne CBD.”

Equilibrium: a stable situation in which products and reactants are balanced.
The experiment exists in an alternate world where science does not behave the same way as our world. There, gravity is warped and time is suspended. The parts of the experiment seem to be part of something bigger, working for a common goal; a grand scheme that is slowly revealed. Reactions become more exciting and erratic; catalysts for each other. The entire experiment represents the energy from Pause Fest 2011. Equilibrium from their world to ours, has been achieved. — Studio Breeder

“We’re born into this world to have our hearts broken, to have them split in two…spilling out onto the page, onto the canvas, onto the screen, trying to make sense of the world with ink and paint and pixels and words. You want to be loved for who you are but you want love to transform you…to wash everything away and make you clean. You jump without looking, afraid of what you might see. Let your broken heart be your guide.”
