Terra Incognita

This is a guided tour through Terra Incognita, the animated interactive work I made in 1998 to chart the fiction of Tasmanian writer Carmel Bird. The work is a maze of interconnecting parts within a circle. This form represents my understanding, at that time, of the creative process as experiences of creators and their readers, that come together through their similar and different experiences of the places and times they find themselves within. You can hear Carmel reading from her stories as I move you images I made as my reading of her words - at that time. Carmel reads from Cherry Ripe, The White Garden, and Automatic Teller. Terra Incognita forms part of a Masters of Art in Animation and Interactive Media that I completed in 1998 at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.
