This digital workshop, led by contemporary artist Simon Ward, will take you on a ride through the building blocks of virtual reality to create your own computer generated animation collage.
Simon Ward is a video maker and animator from Wellington, New Zealand. Together with Jess Johnson, they created the work Terminus, a mysterious universe of alien architecture populated by humanoid clones and cryptic symbols, explored via a network of travellators and gateways.
Terminus is touring Australia and it is exhibited at Hazelhurst Arts Centre, Sydney from 25 June to 28 August 2022.
