 The purpose of applying for this grant to is to;  allow the opportunity, context and support to fully develop exhibition concepts with an enhanced depth of content and preparation. This will
build on, my twenty years of media production experience and extend the production values, impact and reach of this and future project ideas.
 
Penguins are an enormously popular, tourist drawcard, and quite possibly, universally regarded as “cute”. But but how much do we really know and appreciate about their lives, the lives of the other lifeforms as they interact with coastal and ocean environments. Of course no matter how cute, Penguins also face the risks of climate change, habitat degradation and  loss. This is of importance, and hopefully interest, to audiences from metro, regional, coastal, inland, national & international.    My experimental approach will lead audiences into appreciating, the natural world we are part of including art,science,  and perspectives related to and beyond our own self interests.

From 2012 I have on regular occasions engaged in Conversations  and project with Dr Lisa Roberts, as Facilitator of Animation Student projects while  at VCA School of Film & Television and as an Artist-Researcher in my own right. I greatly enjoyed the creativity and sharing of information and ideas with real life Scientists with two projects , "Algae Data" and "Ecosystem Engineers" being examples of outputs from these conversations.
