Floating Effect

Overview

If you find yourself walking through QUT's Creative Industries Precinct at night, firstly be wary of the nocturnal creatures (possums have been known to Parkour onto people's heads from time to time) and secondly take the time to look up! The shining light on the buildings is part of an innovative outdoor projection exhibition thanks to The Parer Place Project.

The Parer Place Project is solely dedicated to providing a digital canvas for emerging or experimental artists, allowing innovative work to illuminate QUT's burgeoning creative campus. This month the project will showcase Floating Effect – a collection of short animations from Japan's Digital Hollywood University.

The film university holds strong ties with organisations both inside and outside Japan and represents a range of study fields including Anime, games, film and IT. The Floating Effects series of short animations will address the interweaving of Japan's strong traditions and historical traumas with contemporary aesthetics such as Superflat and western influences. An interesting and exotic spotlight on a culture that uniquely integrates modern change with traditional practices.

Floating Effect will screen outdoors, every night from 6pm until dusk.
