Projection Mapping Workshop Umbrella Studio

Join exhibiting artist Melania Jack to extend your digital art and projection skills. In this hands-on, small group workshop, Melania will cover how the software Adobe After Effects can be used for projection mapping, and use of hardware such as media players and projectors. Participants will learn ways to apply these tools to their current artistic practice and meet like-minded local artists that they might collaborate with. Attendees will receive step by step examples, inspiration to turn artworks into projection elements, and time to brainstorm project ideas and seek feedback. The workshop is directed at artists who have some prior experience working with Adobe software or similar. Basic computer skills are essential.

Pressing Topics Exhibition Umbrella Studio

Pressing Topics addresses contemporary issues of gender socialisation and equity within the transglobal workforce. The Ironing Maidens have transformed domestic materials and equipment, including irons and ironing boards, into sculptures, installations, and substrates for projection-mapping. These works collectively form an immersive sensory experience, subverting concepts of domestic labour, technology and gender.

The works are largely conceptualised through a glitch-feminist lens. A term coined by Legacy Russell, glitch feminism uses the notion of the digital error to interrupt existing social structures, including the patriarchy and capitalism, to imagine new worlds.

“I am busting to get onto the next work, a new world, the next question… what does a non-binary, de-capitalised, de-colonialised world look and sound like?”
- Melania Jack, 2022

Pressing Topics will feature four installations, including an exciting new site-specific work in Umbrella’s Vault space.
