JR4 Recorded/Rendered Creative Works – Digital creative workResearch statement
Background An animation work created for projection; part of VOLUME multimedia exhibition at One Star Gallery, West Melbourne. The 12-minute animation was designed to suggest a window set in the gallery wall, & includes changing light tones & reflections & a floating-through display of creative writing text thematically related to light, sound, & windows. Text fragments are arranged according to three years in history: 1979; 2002; 2017, marked by inclusion of dates, locations & playlists from three music concerts in post-punk genre. The work asks: how can thematically curated creative writing text be used to visually evoke perceptions of night-time atmospherics? Contribution The work contributes to research in atmospheric states of being & how artist-practitioners may evoke those states across disciplines. The work contributes by combining visual & textual exploration, introducing writing & movement to the exhibition to question how the atmospherics of a time deep in the night may be evoked through different practices, in this case, a writer’s practice. The text evokes loud noise & silence, with no audio track. Instead, post-punk music text & poetic imagery are used to suggest differences in audio volume. Work intersects with night studies (Kyba 2020); Nina J. Harris on night sensory perceptions (2011) & Holzer's many text works Significance Three Windows Opening was in the VOLUME exhibition, which had a two-week showing at One Star Gallery and received positive responses from peers and audiences. It was competitively selected by the gallery program’s curators.Publisher
