“Stories are technologies that wrap up huge amounts of information that must not be lost.”
- Ross Gibson at a CuriousWorks conference

CuriousWorks is a storyteller and a collaborator.

Through our All Around You program, we collaborate with marginalised communities to bridge the digital divide. All Around You is a holistic program, linking skills development in new technologies with community capacity building for the arts and community well being. It is a “platform” for communities to stand on, that ultimately enables them to represent themselves independently and sustainably. Think of it as a collection of innovative ways for digital media and the arts to be blended with everyday life in your community. You can explore this collection and share further knowledge and resources through our online portal, www.AllAroundYou.net, which launches publicly in late-November 2008.

CuriousWorks also tells stories. We investigate current issues from a fresh perspective. Our artistic program includes performance, film, music, installation and audiovisual works, all of which investigate contemporary relationships between art, culture, technology and public space.

Each project in CuriousWorks’ artistic program has outcomes that feed into the All Around You model. New art and technology innovations are turned into educational components of our community program. This is a creative loop that is greater than the sum of its parts - and the unique distinction of a company like CuriousWorks - that engages in both the community and contemporary aspects of arts, technology and education.

“I want to make a comment about how natural it is that a group like you, from different backgrounds, find it almost a must to bring together different art forms, because it is as if one art form cannot contain… I see you as a group going into new territory, whilst you are both the explorers and the cartographers, so as you move into this new territory you’re actually circumscribing, describing, refining a land that becomes clearer and clearer as you travel. I am looking at you, getting a sense of us, going out into the ocean and that is extremely powerful. It is an incredible statement that you’re making.”
