Overflow’s opening night goes swimmingly
Last night CuriousWorks premiered a projection work at Federation Square called Overflow. Put on by Melbourne Fringe Festival and Federation Square, Overflow is an animated work that imagines Melbourne’s city centre underwater and the different kind of life its citizens would have in that world.
Website Workshop Postscript
Last Saturday saw CuriousWorks hosting its first workshop at Randle st, a workshop clearly focused on really defining and explaining the basic building blocks of web design by writing html code. Slammed into an intense four hours, participants with no prior experience of HTML found themselves creating web pages from scratch, hand-coding everything.
Help CuriousWorks Make a Ballgame Video
Tired of kids having all the fun? Got a video recording device? Got a tennis ball? Then lets make a video!! This month, CuriousWorks wants you to participate in our Ballgame Video exercise. Simply film yourself/friends/pets/garden gnomes catching a ball and then throwing it off-screen. Upload the video to your favourite video hosting platform (Vimeo, Youtube etc) and then paste the URL of your submission in the Comments section below.
10 Websites for High-School Teachers
CuriousWorks spends a lot of time in high-schools doing workshops that are an eclectic mix of art, theatre and multimedia exercises. These workshops are constantly evolving and changing and many are influenced by websites and artists who inspire us. We thought we’d share some of the websites that are the shoulders we stand on and inspire our work.
CuriousWorks, Melbourne Style

Greetings from Melbourne, Curious folk. Shakthi and Aimee reporting here. We’re in Melbourne developing an animated projection of Federation Square as if it is underwater, to be projected onto the city icon itself during the Melbourne Fringe and Urban Screens Festivals. It’s called ‘Overflow’.

The Road To Hell…
Whitney once famously sang, (before rehab presumably), “I believe the children are our future”. Well, I believe the children are the present. I’m certainly not alone in believing that how we look after our children is one of the central indicators of the health of our society.

I live in Roebourne, a small town in the North West of Western Australia. Our town is about 90% Aboriginal so it’s easy to imagine the reputation we have, in fact our reputation is known all over this state.
