ABOUT

Ex Ponto is the creative studio of multidisciplinary artist, Ivan Masic. With a focus on the insoluble intimacy between music, light and the moving image, Ex Ponto has delivered a wide range of projects in the form of music videos, short-form documentaries, audio-visual installations and, live performances.

Ivan recently toured Europe with Yolngu trio, Malawurr, as DoP on the forthcoming feature-documentary, Morning Star, and was commissioned by Melbourne Museum to design and deliver projection-mapped, cymatic projections for the Revolutions: Records & Rebels opening event. Other credits include end-to-end video productions for RMIT University, City of Melbourne, Testing Grounds, Next Wave Festival, Centre For Multicultural Youth, and Kuda New Media Centre in Novi Sad, Serbia.

As a musician, composer, and producer, Ivan has self-released dozens of albums with improvisation collective, Council of Elders, and experimental no-wave band, Wunderlust. The debut Ex Ponto LP, Neka Neka via General Purpose records (2019) is a homage to Bosnian poet, Ivo Andrić, ex-Yugoslavian experimentalists of the 80s, and the thriving, late-night intellectualism of Belgrade’s Club 20/44. In recent years, Ivan has recorded new music for Testing Grounds’ Knowledge Economy series and a follow-up to Neka Neka, which is scheduled for release on Offen Music in May, 2022.

As co-director of Little Projector Company, Ivan creates, facilitates, and documents the development and exhibition of site-responsive installations, performances, and tours that combine the language of cinema with projection, music and storytelling.
