Synopsis
#14 (Project1
14) was a multimedia performance work, presented in Spring Hill Baths, Brisbane
for the 1996 Brisbane Festival of the Arts. The work was presented in
the winter-empty pool shell and enveloped
and involved audience interaction in a unique cross-artform multimedia event
that drew on elements of the pool's history to explore notions of space, boundaries,
personal barriers, gender, display and observation.
Large scale computer projections on the pool
floor, an audience situated high above in the balconies, shadow inspired
movement and imagery, and state of the art visual and aural technology were
some of the elements that immersed and confronted the viewers as they were
drawn into a complex blend of sporadic, virtual interactive experiences and
environments.
