there's been a little discussion of political issues at the Create_Space lab - which prompted today's project.
the DIRT (Dynamic Interactive Response Time) workshop today was based around the creation of DrawBots (drawing robots). Created a jittery, hyperactive machine-gun looking bot with a couple of paper cranes attached - commentary on military forces "do good" missions... Image to be uploaded.
Beginning concept development (and implementation) on a "backpack/parcel" interactive new media work, to do with the current social attitude to backpack wearers and suspect packages - post London bombings and Canberra situation with white sand/cultural institutions earlier in the year.
More info as the project progresses...

new networks, new spaces
Almost one week down at the ANAT New Media lab - Create_Space - at the Melbourne Meat Market venue.
Meeting, collaborating and socialising with a range of Australian New Media artists - Tim Plaisted, Matt Gardiner, Troy Innocent, Alex Gillespie, Sarah Neville, Trish Adams, Tim Barrass, Andrew Burrell, Shiralee Saul plus facilitators Adam Nash, Jonah Brucker-Cohen and Katherine Moriwaki.
Much discussion of history/memory, residue, layering of memory over time in relation to specific locations, associations between particular spaces and feelings.
The first collaboration project with Tim Plaisted and Trish Adams resulted in a number of concepts for projects around the themes of: waiting spaces, lost spaces, inaccessible spaces, display/stage spaces, dead spaces.
Fantastic to collaborate with a new group of people who are highly skilled at what they do. Also really interesting to see/hear how other's deal with space, and interesting to see my own perception and association to public and social spaces.
