In September 2016, the Australian artists joined their English counterparts in London. Together, they experienced the 2016 Unlimited Festival, before travelling to Watershed in Bristol to undertake a week-long Creative Development Lab, which also incorporated the remote input of Unfixed 1.0 artist Sarah Houbolt, who was unable to attend in person.
The Creative Development Lab enabled the Unfixed artists to:
- Explore new ways of embedding creative technology into their practice;
- Collaborate and exchange skills, knowledge and ideas;
- Engage with the Pervasive Media Studio community and the work of its residents;
- Present outcomes at an event at Watershed at the conclusion of the Lab;
- Establish what is required to successfully deliver Unfixed 3.0 in 2017.
Financial partner
Unfixed 2.0 is supported by the British Council Australia.
