DRIFTING, by Julia Burns

Launch Event: Monday 2 February @ 2:30pm

Location: Beta_space @ L1 Cyberworlds Gallery  500 Harris Street Ultimo 2007

This artist's discussion and demonstration will address the research aim's of Julia's Master's Thesis. 

For this piece, Burns has pulled from both personal and external experiences to connect with the viewer.  This work allows the viewer to act as a voyeur as they watch the personal lives of others and are led to reflect on their own. 

The placement of three surrounding projections on screens and real objects creates an immersive experience and should help to enhance the ‘presence’ of the characters in the real space. Although the interaction of the viewer is minimal, it is enough for them to disrupt the flow of the fictional characters’ lives and thus play a part in the narrative.

Burns' research into interaction design, immersivity, engagement, and narrative are explored through this installation.
