Update:
Thanks everyone who has supported my project so far - your support is greatly appreciated. There has been lots of developments with the project. The book is almost completed and has a number of AR pieces hidden in the images of the publication. Linda Carroli and Dr Catherine Summerhayes have both contributed essays to the book and New Zealand artist and collaborator Shannon Novak will also be creating an AR intervention in the book.
There is only about 5 weeks to go until the exhibition and only two weeks left for my pozible campaign. If you have considered donating $1 or more to my project, now is the time to do it.
Every little bit helps and is really appreciated.
Best
Tracey
Project Description:
Finding Balance: Mura Gadi evokes the geographical region surrounding Canberra, especially Namadgi National Park. ‘Mura Gadi’ translates from the Ngunnawal language as ‘pathways for searching’.
The work explores a connection to place on a personal level, considering the human relationship to the landscape and natural environment with need to be aware of our imprint upon the land and its affect on climate, estuarine and terrestrial environments.
Finding Balance: Mura Gadi is a meditation on experiencing the landscape by walking and inhabitation. It combines a range of media gathered via a hand held device, including photographs, audio, GPS coordinates and video.
In late August I am having an exhibition at the Belconnen Art Centre, titled "Finding balance: Mura Gadi". I am seeking some financial support to help pay for the exhibition and publication costs associated with the show.
Some of the exhibition costs:
$480 Gallery hire.
$100 Catering.
$60 Invites.
$120 Wall signage.
$350 Professional documentation of the exhibition.
$500 publication printing.
$200 Digital prints for augmented media 'triggers'
Here is one of the images which will be included in the exhibition and publication
