Floating Land Online

Floating Land virtual Worlds – A virtual Futures Project

As part of the ongoing conversation about creativity, the environment and culture we invite the community, visitors and artists to contribute to an exciting, navigable, virtual reconstruction of Floating Land 2011. Floating Land invites all who have a digital camera – professionals, amateurs and happy-snappers alike – to contribute images collected while exploring projects and events in Boreen Point, Coolum and Cooroy. Floating Land Virtual Worlds – a Virtual Futures Project draws on the potential of the Internet’s W3C virtual technologies, and beyond, to bring ideas into actions that mitigate against adverse consequences of climate change. To participate contact Ross Barber: email barberr@squirrel.com.au, phone 07 5478 9197, mobile 0468 575 484, skype ruth.barber3.

Floating Land virtual worlds uses Photosynth - a powerful set of tools for capturing and viewing the world in 3D. You can share these views with your friends on Facebook, publish them to Bing Maps, or embed them in your own Web site. Come down to the Mobile Library and crunch your photos of Boreen Point into the Photosynth software, as we create a 3D map of Floating Land 2011

Digital Liquid

Students aged 7 to 17 at the School of Dramatic Arts (SODA) have been exploring water culture and developing multi-platform content for Floating Land in regular workshops leading up to the event. Explore and interact with a showcase of their work on PlaceStories.

PlaceStories – Feral Arts

Share your Water Culture stories online with digital postcards, videos and sound through an interactive software system called PlaceStories. PlaceStories is an initiative of Feral Arts, with the assistance of the Australian Government and its arts funding and advisory body the Australia Council, and the Queensland Government’s Arts Queensland.
