25.01.2022 Bees regularly enter my living room through the fireplace and dart around, as if searching for sunscreen. The swam appears disorganised, yet they communicate through dance around the immobile queen. What have I invited into my confined space? @jenvalender @centreforprojectionart #centreforprojectionartresidencyprogram #centreforprojectionart #projectionart #collingwoodyards #creativevictoria #cityofyarra #melbourne #residency #besenfamilyfoundation

25.01.2022 GSPF MiNi 2018 saw the Atherton Gardens become a mini but ambitious nocturnal playground of interactive installations and projection art, featuring a range of immersive kaleidoscopic projections that highlighted the public housing estate.

25.01.2022 YOU. ME. US. Looking back on the turn of the decade and Gertrude Street’s third projection festival, artists were asked to explore their personal and global views on social, economic, environmental, and cultural impacts through projection art.

24.01.2022 TRANSIENCE As projection and installation already exist in a state of temporality, in GSPF 2014, artists used their work to provide memorable participatory installations and striking visuals for the public to experience a state of flux.

24.01.2022 UNFURLING FUTURES The 10th Anniversary of GSPF invited artists to create visions of the future, turning Gertrude Street into an epoch that explored multiple universes of social, political, and environmental differences.

10.01.2022 ELEMENT In 2012 artists explored everything that encapsulates the Gertrude street community - the physical, the ephemeral, the brave, the crazy, the passionate - the results were projections and installations which explored emotional and psychological narratives that complimented the streetscape.

08.01.2022 Also during the residency, I was investigating a few different ways of disrupting images using subpixel array patterns.A single pixel on a color subpixelated display is made of several color primaries, typically three colored elementsred, green and blue. These pixel components, sometimes called subpixels, appear as a single color to the human eye because of blurring by the optics and spatial integration by nerve cells in the eye. The components are easily visible, however, ...when viewed with a small magnifying glass. I was experimenting with recreating the subpixel array through code and then rotating and shifting the RGB layers to create moire patterns. Moire are complexinterference patternsthat can be produced when an opaque ruled pattern with transparent gaps is overlaid on another similar pattern. I got some interesting results when I projected the artwork and tried reflecting the projector beam off glass to layer the image over itself. . . . @wesleydowling @centreforprojectionart #residency #centreforprojectionart #centreforprojectionartresidencyprogram #projectionart #opportunity #melbourne #cityofyarra #creativevictoria #besenfamilyfoundation See more

04.01.2022 This is my final takeover post for the week. Thanks for following along. Mosaicis a reactive web-based site-responsive work that was developed during theCentre for Projection ArtResidency Program and exhibited as part of theHolocenter Light Windowsexhibition.The work was initiated by the lockdown restrictions that were taking hold during the residency. I wanted to investigate ways of creating an interactive projection work that would allow viewers to participate with... it remotely and respect social distancing rules. This web-based artwork accumulates the history of the browser window sizes that access the site. The website was projected through the window of Collingwood Yards, and visitors could interact with the work by scanning a QR code that was placed around the site with their mobile device. . . . @wesleydowling @centreforprojectionart #residency #centreforprojectionart #centreforprojectionartresidencyprogram #projectionart #opportunity #melbourne #cityofyarra #creativevictoria #besenfamilyfoundation See more

03.01.2022 Take a trip down memory lane with us and reminisce on our past festivals. RESIST. PERSIST. SHIFT. In 2019 through participatory projections, video games, and virtual reality works, artists pushed the artform of projection into new realms, while questioning constricting structures, pushing back against the status quo, and giving strength to fluid identities. Video: GSPF 2019 Highlights, produced by: Semiconductor Media #projectionart #VR #festivals #light

02.01.2022 URBAN PERSPECTIVES In the very first GSPF artist's used experimental projection methods and playful visuals to explore place and self through an inner-city landscape. Who remembers their first Gertrude Street Projection Festival? Images from GSPF 2008 #projectionart #videoart #yarra #gspf #installationart

02.01.2022 Job Options. The tenants in the flat below me knew that when they lit a fire, smoke would come up through my chimney and leak into the living room. If, for whatever reason, I annoyed the wife the husband would light a fire. This was the chimney. @centreforprojectionart #residency #centreforprojectionart #centreforprojectionartresidencyprogram #projectionart #opportunity #melbourne #cityofyarra #creativevictoria #besenfamilyfoundation

01.01.2022 HIDDEN: PLACES AND SPACES In 2011 artists responded to the hidden spaces within themselves and explored emotional histories within the architecture along Gertrude Street.
