Hidden Treasure
If you look at 'Trash and Treasure' below, this is the same image (really!) with most of the colour removed, to indicate an archeological dig. It takes on the appearance of a fossil. So what was once rubbish to be collected, is now something of value perhaps.
This reminds me of archaeological digital imaging/surveys (google/wikipedia for "geophysical survey") or crop marks (google "crop marks archaeology"). Picking up something that cannot be seen by other means: "Because something has vanished, because it can no longer be seen, doesn't mean it's not there." (Iain Sinclair, "London Orbital")
Mythgological studio-What, Where, Why, How - An introduction
The mythological studio is intended to act as an online studio contact site where students from RMIT's various arts courses and in different geographical locations can interact with each other purely on a social level or as way of setting up contacts for either on-line projects or exhibitions/books/ whatever in real space. It is at an embryonic stage at present and welcomes any interaction. At present artists from Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia, and in all courses, are involved but hopefully this will expand to other universities and maybe artists outside uni's as well. A publication may result from the actual site itself when there is enough material.
