I would like to say a huge thanks to all the people who helped us launch the Situated Media Installation Exhibition at FraserStudios on 6th October, and also to the first-year students whose works are on display, heroically completed on time(!): the culmination of collaboration between the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Design Architecture & Building at the University of Technology, Sydney. The students from the Bachelor of Design in Photography and Situated Media, and Bachelor of Sound and Music Design have developed multimodal interdisciplinary projects exploring the neighbourhood/precinct using light objects, augmented reality, locative experiences and interactive digital situated media. Some works are conceptual and physical, installed in the gallery, while others take you on an experiential journey (audiovisual walk) to investigate situated media outside in the precinct, starting from the gallery.
Special thanks to: the other teaching and tutoring staff involved - Chris Caines, Alex Davies, Jai McKenzie,Vedad Famourzadeh, Aengus Martin and Justin Harvey; and to the School of Design in DAB and Professor Lawrence Wallen; FASS MediaLab & Brendan Lloyd & Equipment Store; DAB Fabrication Lab; Sense-Aware Lab; David Burns (Head, PSM); and Kym Lenoble of QueenStreetStudios/FraserStudios. Congratulations and thanks for an exciting collaboration!
