Future Foods Lab Documentary

A windmill will soon pop-up in old town Sydney hosting a month of events exploring historical ideas, community development and sustainable living. The Rocks Windmill, brought to life by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, will be host to our ElectriCITY Sparks program, which sees the windmill as a platform for exploring our collective energy future. Presented together with our friends at Media Lab Melbourne, Carbon Arts will be jamming with the creative sector and the creative in all of us in the common cause of reducing energy use.

Over a week from 6-12 May, ElectriCITY Sparks offers films; an exhibition; a panel session with leading industry, government, artist and community members; a gadget demo of all manner of home energy management devices from the kooky to the collaborative; and a Hacker workshop for imaginative DIY and energy enthusiasts. Most events are FREE, but places are limited. Book soon to avoid disappointment.
 

Carbon Arts is thrilled to be working with GASP! (The Glenorchy Art & Sculpture Park), a unique and ambitious public art space at Elwick Bay, Tasmania, to develop Swimmable! Reading the River. Envisioned as a series of artist-led initiatives that will bring legibility and community engagement to the environmental challenges of the Derwent River, Swimmable! has received Creative Partnerships development funding from the Australia Council for the Arts. We are busy preparing our workshop in Hobart this week with invited project stakeholders across the arts, science & technology, environmental management and education. Watch this space!
