Kit Webster is our Feature Artist for 2010

Kit Webster is one of the few artists engaged in cutting-edge technological art and design in Australia.

Since completing a Media/Sound Arts degree at RMIT University in 2008, he has been gaining recognition for his creative combination of digital projection and sound.

Works through 2009 included the projection/sound installations Dataflux 0.1 and Scribbluminous, both of which were selected for screening at the Lange Nacht der Musik festival in Munich, Germany.

He also developed the site-specific projections Pub Crawl, for the 2009 Gertrude St Projection Festival (as pictured above), and Life on MARS, which transformed the exterior of MARS art gallery in Port Melbourne for an exhibition launch. This work inspired the gallery to commission Kit to create the site-specific immersive light and sound sculpture Engimatica, which was presented there in Febuary.

Kit recently received an Australia Council ArtStart grant and was been invited to work in Vienna, Austria, throughout March and April. Kit's projects can be viewed on his website
