Join Associate Dean, Photography Dr Alison Bennett for a floor talk on their exhibition vegetal/digital at MARS Gallery on Saturday 17 September at 4pm.

Alison Bennett has rendered Australian native flowers as celestial encounters in the form of 3D point-clouds that coalesce and dissolve. Using a gesture-controlled interface, they have installed this innovative interactive screenwork as a room-scale data-projection, along with sublime large-scale prints,

The works were created using photogrammetry, a technique for generating 3D models from a large set of photographs taken from all angles of the specimen. The process of photogrammetry generated 3D point-cloud files that are presented in two distinct forms of encounter — an immersive gesture-controlled interactive projection in the MARS basement video room and large-scale giclee prints in the intimate space across the hall.
