Part workshop, part behind the scenes, part meditation journey, the Apertures project is a ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ style ephemeral art installation by Scott Baker that will see you journey through the Sydney CBD to various locations, experiencing the city in a new light.

Experience micro-video projection mapping close up and engage with the artist’s intention of creating a shinrin-yoku (forest bathing) experience using video of the forests around Bermagui where he lives projection mapped into small architectural glitches around the CBD.

Ask questions or sit and watch and connect with the tiny magical spaces being created.You will be informed of the first location on the night via text message 1 hour before the rendezvous in the CBD. Wear appropriate walking shoes and bring your traffic skills.

WHO IS THIS SESSION FOR:

This event will give you an insight into the video projection process, the tools and techniques including hardware and software, video content creation, site selection and conceptual approaches for using video projection for installations.

This is a great session for creatives using digital tools or wanting to demystify projection technology. Tap into Scott’s 20 years as a digital media educator to glean insights into the process. It is for seekers of the subtle and sublime.
