CuriousWorks
PROJECT: KINECT
CuriousWorks helps people in under-resourced communities use new technologies to tell their own stories. As part of its long term, grassroots program called ‘All Around You', the team has recently completed the first of its ‘Kinect' Labs - building portable, affordable, do-it-yourself technologies at Casula Powerhouse. CuriousWorks plans to take these technologies to a series of workshops in NSW and remote Australia, helping kids tell their own stories in cheap and sustainable ways and teaching them how to keep building and using these technologies once the workshops are over.
Curiousworks brings a second Kinect Lab to Underbelly - as well as building the technologies, the team will be testing them, playing with them, handing them over to unsuspecting audiences members in and around the CarriageWorks site. From projectors on tricycles to wearing straps that trigger sound or visuals on the basis of your movement, watch this accessible and affordable technology in action as Carriageworks becomes a creative playground for this project in progress.
