We've built a Tagtool (http://www.tagtool.org) for our Frontline project and other activities in Darwin. It great for live digital drawing and animation. I trialled it with kids at Manunda Terrace Primary School last week; it didn't break, the kids had fun. We're working on a show, probably based on a children's story. First big outing will be at Palmerston Festival in May this year. We used a plastic Tupperware-like container for a case temporarily; not pretty, but it works (see http://www.frontlinemedia.org.au/node/25).

DAY ONE

One day into the Australian Centre for Virtual Art's lab/workshop at ACMI. I'm here to meet other artists, share ideas and experience, and have a good think about what it is I do. I've only recently begun framing some of my R&D as art so a lot of the language at the workshop is unfamiliar. Fascinating to see how artists frame their work and hear how their intentions are described.
