pvi collective

pvi collective uses gameplay alongside emerging, familiar, and DIY technology to explore the social dynamics of the cities individuals inhabit. They create playfully subversive performances and interventions that invite genuine engagement, transforming our perceptions of space, cities, and environments. Their work aims to turn audiences into activists.

The collective’s ultimate goal is to save the world through creative play and revolutionary fun, believing that art is a powerful tool for generating systemic change. They examine and challenge the ways power and privilege shape modern society. The team’s diverse backgrounds in intervention, visual art, activism, performance, live art, video, sound art, movement, and programming all contribute to creating artworks for galleries, public sites, and alternative spaces.

Since its incorporation in 2008, pvi collective has been supported by a passionately dedicated board with a wide range of experience in arts law, transmedia, architectural urban planning, and arts management.

Featured Project

eaters
Eaters is a performance work cleverly disguised as a pub quiz. At eaters, there is a lively hour of ‘eatertainment,’ during which audiences team up to explore the challenges we face as eaters amidst the climate emergency. From soil health to supply chains, big agriculture to First Nations stewardship, seed sovereignty to carbon farming, eaters places the concerns of farmers front and center. Together, we’ll consider how society can transition from an extractive mindset to one that nurtures and respects the natural world. Eaters features the voices of notable guests, including political journalist Gabrielle Chan, physicist Vandana Shiva, the Noongar Land Enterprise Group, former Greens senator and writer Scott Ludlam, and Boorloo’s very own Odette Mercy and Gina Williams.
