FBi's Canvas

How many FB friends have you got? Tweet much? This week Matt Levinson gets interactive with founder of Media 140, Ande Gregson (you can follow him @dailytwitter) to discuss journalism's future in the digital media age. Matt will also be chatting to Wade Marynowsky, performative media artist and 2009 SMAC Award nominee in the Best Artist category.

Talk about taking 'nanna' to the next level, guerilla knitters have sewn up the toilet at Taylor Square, and now they're taking their yarn to the seedy heart of Kings Cross. Catch up with Michelle and Alasdair from REEF KNOT knitters, and Doug Gibson, the guy behind new music magazine MOUNTAIN FOLD, this week on Canvas. That's Sunday from 10am with Matt Levinson.

It’s all class war and the colonies this week as Canvas takes a look at the growing pains of a nation.

Plus, we’ve got Ana Kokkinos on teen crime and urban conflict in her new film, Blessed.

It's a writing fest in miniature on Canvas this Sunday: Matt Levinson catches up with Brooklyn-based novelist Reif Larsen on map-making wunderkinds, and talks kindergarten spelling with text-based installation artist Emily Floyd. He'll also find out about an online poetry comp for twelve-word poems! Write it in: that's Canvas, Sunday from 10am.

Feeling forgetful? Rewrite your memories with Canvas this week, as we pin down Kate Scardifield's new show False Narratives (Peloton gallery), and Tarantino's WW2 flick Inglourious Basterds. It's all dreamt up, but it's a wild ride. Canvas, Sundays from 10am.

Canvas gets dolled up in trackies and running socks this week. Matt Levinson catches up with fashion photographer Harold David on the glories of that sartorial stigma, the humble tracksuit; while Sydney installation artist (he's in Naked On The Vague, Vincent Over The Sink, Bowles) Matthew Hopkins talks new work, old work, and the work he's done with sculpted sporting socks. That's Canvas, Sunday from 10am.

Blood, sperm, corneas, skin: growing cells to make movies is about as far from computer graphics as you can imagine, but that's how WA's Bio-Kino make their strange cinema.

That's Canvas, Sundays from 10am.
