In 1976 the group traveled to Australia as ironic "artists-in-residence," counter-cultural ambassadors. "Off-Air" Australia is a fragmented document of that trip, culled almost entirely from off-air footage of their television appearances, Australian media coverage of Ant Farm's events, and appropriated TV commercials. Ant Farm's Australian media events, including an irreverent performance of an "opera" for cars in front of the Sydney Opera House, typify their use of spectacle as social satire. The tape ends with a press conference on their proposed Dolphin Embassy project, a mobile platform for communicating with dolphins. 538 Digital Betacam NTSC. 650 0 Performance art. 650 0 Happenings (Art) 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Shorts.|2mim 655 7 Television.|2mim 700 1 Lord, Chip. 700 1 Michels, Doug. 700 1 Schreier, Curtis. 700 1 Hurr, Douglas. 710 2 Ant Farm (Design group) 935 GLADN51148198 941 0 PFA 0504-01-11351.
