Feb. 2020Brisbane, Queensland, AustraliaRipple is an interactive, multimedia installation that explores the morphing states of water, moving through a sliding scale of temperature from Ice to Vapour. The immersive experience combines mythological narrative with animation, sound and performance and uses the live facial expressions and portraits of the audience to drive the audio-visual elements. The work in development combines the ancient mythological format of personification with contemporary trans-human technology. The narrative and generative interactivity of the work aims to embody the audience, creating empathy and connection to nature and highlighting the vulnerability and strength in shared human emotion.

The commissioned work was designed as a reflection of the project ECHO, which has travelled the world collecting personal stories and the facial identities of over 40,000 people. These images have been crafted into a rich body of interactive, generative animation and sound work that the audience are able to trigger in real-time. The public are also able to capture their own portrait image and manipulate the pixels of the image with a touchscreen interface and high end facial tracking technology.

Urban Screen ProductionsZ-Access - A digital creative development workshop
Mar. 2019 - Feb. 2020Melbourne, AustraliaZ-Access.
The latest creative development project by Georgie Pinn has just been released. Again she uses the immersive nature of interactive animation and sound to harness empathy and make way for learning and new forms of expression for both the artist and the audience. The work was developed during an Art residency produced by Urban Screens with the intention to democratise public screens. She uses the generative, data driven software Touchdesigner, connected to Urban Screen's Interact-in.Place platform as a tool for exploring these concepts. The workshop outcome was to enable artists of all mediums to transform their work into an animated format that can be manipulated in real-time by the audience in public spaces, lifting the work off the canvass into a screen-based event context. It also aims to increase and diversify audience participation in the creative sphere.

Electric PuppetEcho @ Pause Festival
Feb. 2018 - Dec. 2018Melbourne, AustraliaProject : Echo- The Empathy Engine PAUSE Festival
The key intention of Echo is to create a vehicle for the exchange of empathy.
As the world becomes more complex and digitally connected, the role of empathy is becoming
increasingly important as an antidote to personal loneliness and an ideological isolation.
Echo is an immersive artwork that takes the form of an interactive booth based installation.
The work is user specific, relational and explores notions of connection through an interactive
exchange of personal narrative. Innovative real-time facial tracking technology combines with
animation, storytelling, and portrait to highlight intersections between strangers. In doing so the installation is able to collect and share an embodied archive of cross-cultural experience that elicits compassion. According to acclaimed narrative theorist PJ Manney: “Storytelling is both the seductive siren
and the safe haven that encourages the connection with the feared “other.” How we relate to
stories and storytelling can be seen as an acid-test for empathy”
QUT (Queensland University of Technology)ECHO
Feb. 2017Brisbane, AustraliaECHO -
The project ECHO explores ideas of empathy and connection through portrait, narrative and shared identity. Situated inside a photo booth installation, using bespoke facial tracking/fragmentation software, the user is able to combine their facial features with a range of others, creating an avatar that they can animate with their own expressions. How do we feel when someone blinks with our eyes, smiles with our lips or speaks with our tongue? Echo also experiments with ideas of empathy and narrative by creating a virtual mirror that enables the storyteller and viewer to merge as one. The participant is delivered another’s deeply personal story. As the on-screen narrator speaks a subtle slippage between you (the viewer) and the other occurs; the viewer’s face begins to imprint onto the narrator's face, merging your identity and experience in real time. The experience is exciting, confronting and entirely immersive as the participant becomes the subject matter of the artwork. The first stage of Echo was developed as a 3 month artist residency project, commissioned by the Cube, QUT. Echo will be a ongoing project collecting, archiving and sharing human stories across creed, race, culture, and nation states. Echo intends to build into a culturally diverse archive of stories, songs and identities with the intention of enabling an embodied, cross-cultural experience that elicits compassion and connection with the other.

City of MelbourneDirector, Designer, facilitator, artist
Jan. 2016 - Jun. 2018Melbourne, Australia. ArtplayAnimation goes "live" with the use of full body and facial motion tracking.
With this in mind Electric Corpse is a project that stimulates and extends the creative
expression of young people through the mediums of image, sound, narrative, music,
animation, film and physical movement.
This project has been facilitated 4 times at Artplay and is now being incorporated into the curriculum of primary schools with the support of Creative Victoria. The main two outcomes of this workshop are:
1. An animated film, created and directed by the workshop participants.
2. A event screening combined with an interactive installation where the film characters are animated in real time by the audience. The workshops begins with the french surrealist, drawing game, Exquisite corpse,
(Cadavre Exquis). The students create collaborative designs on paper.
After a brainstorming session on the character personalities a narrative is developed as a
group. The characters then jump off the page and are animated in real time by the
participants’ movements. Using Kinect technology the students are able to to control the
animation of their drawings with their bodies in physical space. This project focuses on getting participants involved in every level of the process. There are
a range of multi media activities that allow all students to shine in their own way.
It allows them to use technology in a creative way without the use of a screen and it
encourages collaborative creative processes as they all need to work together
to create the film. The other positive factor of this project is that the final film can be taken
away with them and therefore can resonate way beyond the life of the project itself.

Federation SquareElectric Puppet- Director of Interactive Animation Event
May. 2013 - Sep. 2013Melbourne, AustraliaI was commissioned by Federation Square to create and facilitate a full body Interactive Animation Installation. This was staged at the Atrium in the heart of the cultural capital of Melbourne.
The Installation performance ran for 5 days and was programmed for children.
The participants entered the space, where able to choose from a range of body parts to create an animated character on a large screen and then using Kinect technology were able to drive and animate the characters with their own body movements.
To develop this technologically advanced project I collaborated with the creative technologist Pierre Proske who assisted me in developing and fine tuning the processes of interaction via programming and other creative brainstorming. This collaboration will continue to develop in the future.
