interweave with Interwoven

Last night I went to this unweaving exhibition that was held by the interactive & visual design graduates of QUT! Ps. this exhibition was curated by my best friend, Lachlan Spencer - who is utterly amazing at what he does. Check out his work! NOW! Better yet, HIRE HIM. 'nough bragging. But he did a fantastic job, and not only saying because he is a friend. (apologies these photos that is about to enlighten your day were taken with my handy iPhone)
The exhibition is themed "interwoven" if you have not already guessed. You basically had to weave your way through the works around the room, unweaving each project (no, you don't). But! guests were welcomed with strings that were attached from the door way up onto the ceiling. The theme reflects "the diverse skills and abilities of the students... as well as the collaboration between us as a cohort. Nowadays we are not specialist but more generalists with diverse creative skills," Spencer said. And that is safe to say in just about any sector of the creative industry, including journalism.
Here are a few of my favourites, or that captured my mind, body and soul. From apps, to advert billboards, to illustrations, to menus, to brails. Yes, brails!

There were also two interactive projects
Ball game, where you peg balls at the huge screen - reminds me of Midway Mania @ California Disney 
Creating rain sounds and visuals with instruments
And here is Lachlan's..
Spider Graph Key
"The strings represent the students moving through a point of collaboration before splitting to visualise the students' specialities in a graph"- Lachlan Spencer
Every 10cm represents 5 students

If you have not already checked them out, you've got one more day!
