Anyone in Sydney this Wednesday, Thursday or Friday should come and check out Detours and Destinations at the Sydney Opera House.
Detours and Destinations is an integrated multi-media arts project framing the stories and experience of young people from the Blacktown and Campbelltown areas.
Video and film, remix technologies, beat mixing and DJ culture, podcasts, blogging, performance, stencil art and installation. The tech behind the installation consists of a GrandVJ media server, dimmers full of profiles and an Ableton session, all driven by OSC from participants interaction with five netbooks running GEM Pure Data GUIs and a giant pressure sensitive dance floor.
