Shadow Net

How would you feel if your shadow wandered off to talk to someone else’s?! This interactive Kinect project prompts participants and viewers to reflect on the complex and often hidden relationships between people, networks and communities on the internet. The on-screen shadows of participants/passers by in Darwin and Sydney are integrated into a composite virtual scene,  broadcast on large public screens in the two cities. Abstracted by anonymity and physical separation, the shadows engage in intimate and playful, yet literally distant encounters; thus strangers engage in virtual relationships across vast distances, provoking contemplation of the impact of anonymity and intimacy in our ever expanding, highly networked world.

Enquire Within Upon Everybody

Excuse me, does anyone know … ? With millions of people sharing the most intimate details of their lives on social media, online data streams have become vast repositories of thoughts and emotions. This work invites audiences in Sydney and Darwin to dive head-first into this river of social data, submitting questions on any subject and seeing them answered by the data stream in a form of modern-day bibliomancy. The answers might not be what you wanted to hear, but they might just be what you wanted to say. Enquire Within Upon Everybody is part of an ongoing series of collaborative works between hybrid media artist Andrew Burrell and writer Chris Rodley which explore the poetics of search: the creative possibilities of filtering and recombining online data through search queries … inciting questions about the un/reliability of digital information and the im/possibility of uniqueness in networked environments, where almost everything we want to say is always, already being said by someone else.
