PhD Study #1: Exploratory Curatorial Experiment
In collaboration with the Design Lab, Sydney, Musify+Gamify, and the Seymour Centre (University of Sydney) Turnbull Tillman will perform the first public study attached to her PhD, an exploratory curatorial experiment.
In utilising the audience as part of the mechanism engaging the interface of digital interactive art systems, Turnbull Tillman and her team of briefed volunteers will endeavor to survey and interview up to 100 members of the general public over 4-5 evaluation sessions. It is their aim to establish a baseline of information regarding the audience's experience of engaging with digital interactive art. As an extension of her existing curatorial practice, Turnbull Tillman will first work with emerging practitioners from UNSW Art & Design's SOMA3142 course Critiques of Narrative in the Moving Image. Here students will be offered the opportunity to develop works for the urban screen in the Seymour Centre courtyard, and Turnbull Tillman will work with them to produce exhibition quality works for display during the VIVID 2015 Festival of Ideas.
Turnbull Tillman is currently awaiting Ethics Approval for this experiment from the UNSW Human Research Ethics Department.
