A
unique opportunity awaits young people living in WA
to showcase their creative works at the 2007 ‘Launch
Yourself’ National Youth Week.
Our vision is to provide a massive showcase and celebration
of diverse young creative people in WA. So, the search
is on for young artists (12 to 25) from all walks of
life to contribute.
Launch
yourself by having your digital artworks projected
onto a very large surface within the Perth Cultural
Centre.
To be displayed at the Youth Week Launch Event, April
13th 5-7pm. (Well, once it gets dark enough...)

Smart artists use more sensible ways to make their
mark.
Some
of the most awesome massive-scale outdoor video projection
is being done in France - check out all of Uruk's
videos on YouTube.
We
will be using digital projectors, not the same technique
as the projections for this Drive-In Gif Theatre project
in Rotterdam - but it's still inspiring.
TIP...
black areas show as invisible with projection, so
high contrast, with your text or images in light
or bright
colours
will show up best. You can make the image look less
like a rectangular movie projection by creative use
of a black mask around the edge of your work
