2007 March - Sydney NSW
The Hero Project was invited to present its community empowerment at the Coding Cultures Symposium 2007 in Campbelltown.
Campbelltown Arts Centre in partnership with d/Lux/MediaArts, presented Coding Cultures from Monday 5 – Friday 9 March 2007. Coding Cultures explored the opportunities that new information technologies including mobile phones, the internet and other on-line spaces, are providing for communities. Coding Cultures was a week long program of international residencies, free Concept Development Labs and a one day Symposium at Campbelltown Arts Centre.
Our presentation at the Symposium was well received, bringing participants up to speed and networked into the latest in community based media practices and cultures. We also managed during the conference to connect the Hero Project to Jamaican artists Mervin Jarman [the Container Project] and Canadian artists Camille Turner, with the aim to collaborate on future projects.
Big thanks to the fabulous Francesca da Rimini and our friends at Dlux for setting this up! Find out more about Coding Cultures and its handbook here:
