Bridging the gap in media art skills

HELEN MACPHERSON SMITH TRUST & AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR THE MOVING IMAGE

In 2007 the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust granted NETS Victoria $10,000 to develop and deliver six media art education programs for regional Victoria in conjunction with the touring exhibition, Loop: new Australian video art. This funding enabled NETS Victoria to partner with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) to implement practical workshops designed to introduce teachers to a range of media art programs and techniques to incorporate into creative arts teaching.

Loop is the first survey of contemporary Australian video art to tour Victoria. It provides regional audiences with the unique opportunity to access and engage with media art, which is rarely presented outside of metropolitan art spaces. Curated by Daniel McOwan, the Director of Hamilton Art Gallery, Loop showcases the works of five of Australia's most innovative artists creating video art, including Daniel Crooks, Shaun Gladwell, Jess MacNeil, Arlo Mountford and Daniel von Sturmer. In bringing together this group of seemingly diverse artists, this touring exhibition is intended to provide a glimpse into some of the fresh methods being employed in video art today.

This special education program, presented between 2007 and 2009, not only aims at bridging the gap in media art skills - it has the potential to inspire a new generation of artists when the teachers return to their classrooms. Through hands-on workshops, teachers investigate the diverse materials, methods and techniques used by the artists featured in Loop, including digital stop-motion, distortion and manipulation of the moving image. The media art education program has also enabled ACMI to extend their reach from metropolitan Melbourne to regional Victoria.

NETS Victoria is grateful for the generous support of our long-term partner, the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV).

We have been housed at the NGV since 1991 and our relationship with the NGV has grown considerably over that time. The NGV provides NETS Victoria with significant in-kind support with our day-to-day operations including IT, human resources and financial assistance.

We both share a commitment to providing the people of regional Victoria with access to contemporary art, craft and design. Along with touring NGV exhibitions, such as the Cicely and Colin Rigg Contemporary Design Award, NETS Victoria also regularly tours works from the NGV collection to regional Victoria and beyond.
