SPECIAL PROJECTS
the riot act . a performance at campbelltown art centre directed by karen therese . video art by scott otto anderson
projection excerpt
Inspired by newspaper headlines that followed three highly publicised riots in NSW, Bidwell, Redfern and Macquarie Fields, The Riot Act is a poetic investigation into forces, perspectives and opinions that shape communities that experience social unrest.
The video component for the show was very large, ultimately requiring four live cameras, five projectors – two data projectors, two miniature-handheld projectors and a giant 14m wide cinemascope back wall projection – as well as an on-stage TV with both live & pre-recorded content.
Kevin Jackson's (NIDA) review commented that Scott's video art “is of great, of both, realistic and poetic impulse and impact. Some of it breathtaking in its aptness and heartrending in its placement in the work.”
