Craig Walsh: Digital Odyssey

18th January, 2010

Craig Walsh: Digital Odyssey is an exciting and ambitious, two-year regional tour and artist residency, organised by the Museum of Contemporary Art in association with the artist. This innovative and ambitious project brings internationally respected Australia artist Craig Walsh’s distinctive new media artwork to rural and remote locations throughout the country. Walsh is traveling around Australia developing and presenting temporary or semi-permanent large-scale public projection works that are responsive to regional history, local stories and the surrounding landscape.
Digital Odyssey utilises the extraordinary artwork of a leading contemporary artist to capture the imagination of those living, working and visiting regional areas. Walsh’s visually stunning large-scale new media works are exhibited in diverse public spaces from urban buildings to national parks. His site-specific works are innovative and leave audiences with a sense of excitement and wonder long after they experience the artwork.
This project sees the artist touring in a mobile living and working environment equipped with all the necessary technical and AV equipment required to ensure that he is completely self-sufficient and able to present and produce major public artworks almost anywhere in the country.
The artworks presented in Digital Odyssey are new public artworks and recreated existing works developed in collaboration with local communities during the artist’s residency in specific regional locations across the country.
Digital Odyssey aims to initiate meaningful interaction with contemporary art by enabling rural and remote audiences to experience and actively engage with the development and installation of highly technical new media art works rarely presented outside of major cities.
Digital Odyssey is supported by a range of specially developed public and education programs, and a publication will also be produced during the project.
