Co-directors
ESTEE WAH (2010 – 2011)
Estee herds cats and births elephants. She sometimes gets to make things.
She loves technology in all its forms, particularly when it’s used to make people’s lives better or more interesting. To this end, she spent 2 years in New York at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) where they gave her a masters degree in geekery. While at ITP she programmed for live performance, did a lot of physical computing, designed and built interactive works, became obsessed with user-experience design and museums, and generally played with technology a lot.
She eats ice-cream and is easily amused.
CARA-ANN SIMPSON (2011 – 2012)
Cara-Ann Simpson (www.caraannsimpson.com) is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on sound, space and the participant. She graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (First Class Honours) at the University of Southern Queensland in 2008, and received the University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Art – Visual Arts medal in 2007 as well as the Hobday and Hingston Bursary from the Queensland Art Gallery.
A self-confessed nerd, Cara-Ann writes conference papers in her spare time with collaborator Eva Cheng (research engineer, RMIT) about incorporating and inventing new technologies in interactive art. She has had a number of solo exhibitions, sound releases and been involved in numerous performances and group shows within Australia, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates. In 2010, Cara-Ann was the recipient of an ArtStart grant (Australia Council for the Arts) for professional development, and a Young Artists’ grant (City of Melbourne) for an interactive sound installation.
She believes in experimentation and pushing limitations.
