International artist in residence for 2007 – Jane Prophet
April 22nd, 2008
Jane Prophet is a British artist whose artworks reflect her interest in science, technology and landscape. The artworks themselves appear as installations, digital prints and objects. For example, Technosphere, inspired by complexity theory, landscape and artificial life, is an award winning website. In 2007 Jane became a Professor in interdisciplinary research in the Computing Department at Goldsmiths College, London
During her month long residency at The Avoca Project, she created and constructed Counterbalance, a large-scale electro-luminescent grid across the landscape whose changing levels alluded to past flood levels that the Swiss House has survived on its current site.
This inaugural international residency for The Avoca Project was sponsored by the School of Creative Media at RMIT University.
