Artists spent two weeks exploring the notions of the ‘fixed’ and ‘unfixed’ body through the lens of art and creative technology during their first residency in Adelaide (November 2015), and then a week developing and prototyping new project ideas at the Pervasive Media Studio in Bristol (September 2016).
Queensland-based Unfixed artist Dr Trish Adams was interviewed by Adelaide multi-media artist James Kurtz.
James Kurtz (JK): What is your favourite game or book?
Dr. Trish Adams (TA): ‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austin.
JK: What is your favourite movie?
TA: ‘UP’ by Disney, ‘Finding Nemo’ by Disney.
JK: What sort of art do you make?
TA: Interactive multi-media installations (www.trishadams.tv)
JK: Do you have any hobbies?
TA: Chilling out.
JK: What would you tell someone who wanted to be an artist?
TA: [There are] people who make art because they love it [and the] arts industry. Be pragmatic about your choices and try to be fulfilled and happy with your life.
Unfixed was produced by The Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT), Access2Arts (AUS), Unlimited (UK) and Watershed (UK).
The project was supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts and the South Australian Government through the Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability program delivered by Arts SA.
On the Artist Interview page Access2Arts asks an interviewer to talk to an artist.
An interview is a conversation where the interviewer asks questions and the person answering is called the interviewee.
The interviewer’s job is to find out about the artist called the interviewee.
To do this, the interviewer asks lots of questions.
The interviewer gives Access2Arts a great story about the artist and we put it on our website.
The interviews can be written for you to read.
Recorded so you can listen to the interview.
On video so you can watch the interview.
Sometimes the interviewer gets very creative. The interview is like art!
