A MULTIMEDIA work Open Air has won collaborating artists Dr Grayson Cooke of Southern Cross University and Emma Walker the 2020 Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize.
This visual music project set to the 2013 album ‘Open’ by Australian cult band The Necks combines time-lapse Landsat satellite imagery of Australia from Geoscience Australia’s Digital Earth Australia project and videography by SCU Associate Professor, together with aerial macrophotography of paintings by Ms Walker.
The resulting work encapsulates the vastly different forms of aerial earth imaging to produce a complex picture of a changing planet.
The Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize is Australia’s premier biennial natural science art prize.
