Letting their imagination run wild, artists will create their interpretation of their own ‘Lord’. Their creation could be human, animal or vegetable and be a manifestation of their fantasies.

THREE ARTISTS. THREE MEDIA. ONE WALL.
Part live performance, part projection mapping show, Phantom Feeling pushes live mural art far beyond the confines of the concrete.
Combining cutting edge projection mapping technology with live sound design and traditional spray paint, Phantom Feeling creates the illusion of a single artist painting in three mediums at once.

rattle. disrupt. disturb. shake. paint.

Digi Youth Art’s young people are partnering with Land Writers (Warraba Weatherall and Daniel Jones) and Mz Murri Cod (Libby Harward) to transform and activate the Queensland Museum, through the creation of two new works examining cultural heritage collections. This is the first project of unsettle: Digi Youth Art’s long term residency at the Queensland Museum where youth artists will carry out creative investigations into the cultural landscape of major arts institutions.
On these lands, painting on public spaces is no new concept. Street art, like many artforms, is another practice that continues the stories of one of the oldest surviving and thriving cultures in the world. unsettle provides an opportunity for established artists to mentor youth artists as they question, challenge and expose the colonial nature of cultural collections in galleries and museums. The works created will offer audiences new interpretations and observations of cultural heritage collections and provide opportunities for the wider community to speak one-on-one with the artists.

This is a portrait of a young man who has a desire for intimacy in a digital age. Societies’ widespread adoption of the internet has made computers the main platform for social interaction. He seeks to throw aside any digital interaction and reconnect with real life experiences but can’t help but find himself feeling left out and disconnected in an age where the internet and digital technology is rapidly transforming life, work and politics. He is trapped, relying on technology to connect with others but only finds the interactions feeling vacuous and empty. The work takes a critical look at the stance of the contemporary image and the internet. Showing fragmented, paper thin, cut out slices of physical materials and body digitally manipulated and assembled together, creating an exchange between the digital world and “real life”, the work aims to reflect the contemporary human experience and our relationships with digital technology. The outcome presenting a hyper coloured, perplexing mashup of digital and “real” and a closer look into our lives today in a techno-reliant world.
