Description
During the recent Desert Equinox Solar Art Exhibition in Broken Hill, two of our dLux MediaArts dLab facilitators made the journey to the silver city to work with local disengaged students from Broken Hill Youth College to create a digital tour of the Desert Equinox Sculpture Walk. The group took part in informal learning workshops where they were able to experiment with a range of digital technologies, then use these new skills to document the exhibition and its artists to use in the development of the mobile app. Through interviewing and interacting with artists in the exhibition, students learnt first hand how each solar powered sculpture was created, what inspired the artists and how they themselves could implement solar technology in their own environment. Here is just a taste of the footage they captured during the program.
