Inviting four prominent Torres Strait Artists to experiment with emerging AI technologies, expanding their creative practice for digital projection.

Supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, this initiative highlights innovative digital art. Past projection works can be viewed here: HERE

Awarded creative technologist and new media artist, Jessie Hughes who grew up on Moa and Thursday Island, will be returning to the Strait, to lead a 3-day AI workshop from the 5th to the 7th of November for four selected artists.

This free workshop will focus on the creative applications of AI for digital projections. Jessie will guide the artists through the AI platform Leonardo.Ai, culminating in the creation of projection artworks to be displayed on the Judith Wright Arts Centre façade in Brisbane from February to April in 2024. Each artist will receive a projection fee for their participation.

This is a unique collaborative opportunity between Flying Arts, Leonardo.Ai and the Gab Titui Cultural Centre this November. You can learn more about Jessie’s incredible work here: https://jessiehughes.com.au  and about Leonardo here: https://leonardo.ai/
