Location:   Curtin HIVE - Hub for Immersive Visualisation and eResearch

and John Curtin Gallery, Building 200A, Curtin University, Bentley.

The HIVE is an new facility at Curtin designed to serve the growing demands for visualisation, virtualisation and simulation. It provides four large-scale display systems, driven by high-end computers that allow the visualisation of different types of data, in varying volumes, scales and formats. The Faculty of Humanities is home to the Curtin HIVE and it is considered a perfect fit as visualisation of data in Humanities allows for simultaneous analytic, aesthetic and social use.

Highlighted works will be presented in the HIVE on the evening: Dr Andrew Hutchison will present virtual environments from the Sydney Kormoran Project.

Professor Stelarc will also present a performance art piece integrating immersive visualisation, avatars and body tracking.
