  "Paula Dawson and the Secret of Happiness" is a collaborative installation with Canadian interactive multimedia video artist Luc Courchesne, Kevin D. Murray (biographer), Katie Pye (stylist and couturier), Fiona Hall (photographer) and curator Merryn Gates (Assistant Director, Ian Potter Gallery).

  ...
  Luc Courchesne's video portrait utilises the hardware and software con figuration of a laserdisc (laservision CAV/NTSC), a television monitor and Hypercard stacks on a MacIntosh computer.The image is rendered by the reflection of the horizontally mounted monitor from above onto a 45 degree angled glass plate facing the viewer.The artist's involvement with interactive video, installation and videography dates from his work at the MIT Media Lab.His work has been exhibited at all the major electronic art symposia (MuuMedia, Helsinki 1993, TISEA Sydney 1992, Siggraph Las Vegas 1991 etc.). Luc Courchesne lives and works in Montreal, Quebec, where he is a professor at the Universite de Montreal and in Marseille, France where he is researcher in residence at the Institute de Recherche et de Creation (IMEREC).
  
  The experience of interfacing with a virtual and immaterial simulated persona is as Courchesne describes a, "metaphor for conversation".
