The Australia Council has a strategic priority to build arts content for the digital era. We know that audiences are seeking creative experiences on a wide variety of digital platforms and are keen to connect with these live immersive worlds.

genart_sys showcases 19 innovative artists, collectives and organisations supported by the Australia Council from a broad range of artforms. Theirs is a generative, ever evolving system of art-making, by which artists are innovating and sharing stories and knowledge over space and time, playing and interfacing with audiences across diverse platforms and communities.

Some artists are investigating what we can do with highly portable technologies such as smart phones and wiimotes. Others are playing with unconventional sports like roller derby, with alliances of old and new media like origami and robotics, and even experimenting with a power-tool orchestra. And many are researching new ways to connect with science.

Building digital culture, all these artists are connecting with us across real and virtual platforms, leading us into new territory with exciting examples of how technologies and content can converge.

It’s all about exploring how Australians can differently experience and interact with the arts.

Come in and see; stay online and discuss!
