Procrastination involved some channel surfing this afternoon, which wasn’t too unproductive in the end! Flicked onto ABC’s program, Art Nation. They had a feature on Australian artist Craig Walsh, who specialises in large-scale public projection artworks.
These images are from a tour he is conducting at the moment, Digital Odyssey, in which he travels around Australia displaying works which are based on the stories of the places he exhibits them in. He said that he is interested in the ability of a projection to simulate surfaces, places and people. He has projected on walls, cliff faces, trees and even water.
In this piece, Walsh projected onto the water, creating virtual life forms that appear to exist below the surface:

Walsh says he is interested in “instilling mythology into an area”, an idea to think about for my project.
