This program will begin with a curator-led tour and lively discussion of Shaun Gladwell: Afghanistan at QUT Art Museum [GP]. Shaun Gladwell's war art focuses on ordinary soldiers in harsh landscapes, on their physique, their inner world, and the training and rituals that shape them.
Students will then travel to the Creative Industries Precinct [KG] to complete the Mash-up LAB. Students will experience the experimental innovation that is the digital mash-up through this hands-on workshop selecting, distorting, animating and activating images to create their own moving image mash-up.
