Dissent Disrupt Desert was the first collaborative exhibition by Jamin, Paicey & Empire, and led to the founding of the Die Laughing Collective, September 2004. The work is 12m x 2.4m and covered the entire back wall of the Entrepot Gallery in Sullivan's Cove, Hobart. The exhibition was timed to co-incide with the Australian Federal Election of that year.

On the opening night local band, "The Scandal", played a set of politically charged punk/hardcore music at a volume level that shocked many of the 200 or so people who turned up to the opening.

Dissent Disrupt Desert was lit day and night, and could be seen from a long way off due to the gallery's large glass frontage. The opening and the piece itself, with it's chaotic and scintillating energy, left a strong impression on many people.
