Nillumbik Digital Agora – 13th-14th September 2019

Artist, Freya Pitt, worked with five local artists; Tony Allan, James Barden, Kylie Gentle, Melissa Kent and Evie Rentzis from Araluen’s Diamond Creek Centre, to create ‘When we sleep in Nillumbik’. The artists used painting and drawing to depict their personal relationships to spaces in Diamond Creek. Pitt then adapted the drawings into an animated projection work. This was part of the local council initiative, Nillumbik Digital Agora.

The Nillumbik Digital Agora developed and showcased site-specific digital and projection-based contemporary artworks in public space for the municipality. The ancient agora provided the backdrop for community conversation, the sharing of ideas and debate in the public realm. The Nillumbik Digital Agora uses contemporary creative media to generate and exchange information in public space.
