“Our project so far – We decided to bring to life one of the projects we’re working on during 10 years of research and archiving: a Museum of working computers, a place where people can, both physically and remotely via Internet, enjoy using historical computers, know their history, learn basics of electronic and computer science, and share a piece of our history. A place where to conserve, repair, preserve in digital format and share our heritage, made of hardware but also documentation, software, electrical schemes, books, manuals and media of various kinds.”
“Hunger In Los Angeles is a recreation of an actual event at a food bank line. The audio is real. You experience what happened wearing virtual reality goggles that track where you look and how you move.”
“Finding Balance: Mura Gadi evokes the geographical region surrounding Canberra, especially Namadgi National Park. ‘Mura Gadi’ translates from the Ngunnawal language as ‘pathways for searching’.
The work explores a connection to place on a personal level, considering the human relationship to the landscape and natural environment with need to be aware of our imprint upon the land and its affect on climate, estuarine and terrestrial environments.
Finding Balance: Mura Gadi is a meditation on experiencing the landscape by walking and inhabitation. It combines a range of media gathered via a hand held device, including photographs, audio, GPS coordinates and video.
In late August I am having an exhibition at the Belconnen Art Centre, titled “Finding balance: Mura Gadi”. I am seeking some financial support to help pay for the exhibition and publication costs associated with the show.”
