An interactive art experience at The Roxy Art Space in Leeton.<\/p>\n
Ganmain Artists Patrick and Shannon Ronald, best known for their large scale hyper-realistic photography of interiors and architecture will be introducing their latest work designed exclusively for The Roxy Art Space show.<\/p>\n
The artists have developed two interactive artworks that encourage audience participation and a higher level of engagement with the works on display.<\/p>\n
The first work takes the form of an interactive video game where the audience controls \u2018Roxy the Fox\u2019 as she ventures through the streets of Leeton. Actions performed within the videogame trigger physical objects within The Roxy Art Space to light up, revealing hints needed to complete the game.<\/p>\n
The second web-based work investigates remote interaction with the gallery and audience collaboration. Players at The Roxy Art Space are asked to respond to triggers that are activated remotely by players viewing the gallery via a live video stream.<\/p>\n
Communication is achieved by visitors to the gallery taking photos via their Smartphone of items as they are illuminated by the online players, the photos are then uploaded to display on \u2018The Roxy Show\u2019 website providing the online participant with the hints needed to progress through the game. If the player at the gallery doesn\u2019t have a Smartphone, they can complete the game in low-tech mode by holding up handwritten hints to the webcam.<\/p>\n
This work allows the exhibition to be engaged with on a global scale, removing the usual limitations of having to physically visit an exhibition in order to experience the artwork.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking forward to the response to our latest work. We have tried to create a show that gives the audience a real sense of involvement and an experience that is made specifically for the people of Leeton. We have developed two systems that allow the viewers to directly contribute to the exhibition and what they get out of it,\u201d said Mr Ronald.<\/p>\n
In addition to the interactive works, a selection of The Ronalds\u2019 previous work will be shown throughout the gallery, including the award winning \u2018m2\u2019 series, and \u2018A Fitted Kitchen is a Joy to Behold\u2019 the major commission for the Ten Days on The Island Festival last year.<\/p>\n
