Abstract

![CDATA[Using technologies that led to petroglyphs (rock art) in the open air and rock paintings protected in caves, storytelling with images is the first record of our spoken tales. The exhibition entitled meta_ narratives presents works by artists who re-interpret the manner in which stories are told and includes works based on early bark paintings through to the transmedia and interactive narratives being produced today. meta_narratives presents contemporary and frequently interrupted reception of texts and histories as explored by artists who find new modes of presenting our stories back to us. The artists place the stories and histories firmly center stage and are exemplary for their finely crafted and appropriate use of electronic and digital technologies in visual and audio portraiture. The works selected for exhibition in meta_narratives include an animation based on a bark painting from northern Arnhem Land by John Gwadbu; a complex eight-channel audio sound work and sculptural installation about rare inter-species collaboration by Nigel Helyer; an animated map in henna of the Middle East by Rusaila Bazlamit; an interactive work about Eastern Europe WW2 history by Bronia Iwanczak and the transmedia exploration of all things Luna by Clea T. Waite and Lauren Fenton.]]
