Water is our lifeblood
Linking oceans, rivers and species across time, geography and the imagination
Words4Water was initiated in 2013 by Australian based interdisciplinary artist Dr Tracey M Benson as a response to the ecological decline of river systems in Australia and beyond.
Through collaboration Words4Water explores a diversity of languages, imagery and stories – evoking water as the sustaining element of all life.
Embedded in Indigenous knowledge is an acute understanding and connection to the relationship between body, environment (site) and identity, This project seeks to (re)awaken this connection more broadly across cultures, disciplines and practices.
This project uses a range of mixed reality media approaches – the use of augmented media to ‘trigger’ sound and video, the development of a smart phone/tablet app, gallery and installation based exhibitions and a projection work that bring together this project in a filmic, linear narrative
