REKINDLING VENUS

is a strikingly bold new work from screen-based installation artist, Lynette Wallworth which extends her work into a cross-platform environment. The first stage of the work In Plain Sight will be launched at the Bigpond Adelaide Film Festival in Feb 2011.

It will be followed by an immersive full dome feature developed for planetariums that will be launched globally to coincide with the next Transit of Venus in June 2012 and as part of the program for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad. For Wallworth, the Transit of Venus provides a metaphor for global scientific co-operation that was achieved once before in the 1700s and is needed now to address the urgent scientific challenge of our times — climate change.

The visually poetic imagery for the work will combine Lynette's interactive approach to imagery drawn from the global scientific community, including marine biologists, climate change modellers, underwater cinematographers and meteorologists.

Lynette Wallworth

The Australian artist Lynette Wallworth creates highly engaging, immersive video installations that reflect on the connections between people and the natural world. Her works use interactive technologies in ways that allow viewers to experience them intuitively. The immediacy and intimacy of this interaction often leads viewers to describe the experience of her work as moving, revelatory or even life-changing. The works are frequently developed in consultation with leading scientists working in fields of inquiry relevant to the themes of the work.
