Lumia : Art | light | motion. The Art of Kuuki.
No full textThe State Library of Queensland is delighted to present Lumia: art/light/motion, a\ud
culmination of many years of collaboration by the Kuuki collective led by Priscilla Bracks\ud
and Gavin Sade. This extraordinary exhibition not only showcases the unique talent of these\ud
Queenslanders, it also opens up a world of future possibilities while re-presenting the past\ud
and present. These contemporary new media installations sit comfortably within the walls\ud
of the library as they are the distinctive products of inquisitive and philosophical minds.\ud
In a sense the exhibition highlights the longevity and purposefulness of a cultural learning\ud
institution, through the non-traditional use of data, information, research and collection\ud
interpretation. The exhibition simultaneously articulates one of our key objectives – to\ud
progress the state’s digital agenda.\ud
Two academic essays have been commissioned for this joint Kuuki and State Library\ud
of Queensland publication. The first is by artist and writer Paul Brown, who has specialised\ud
in art, science and technology since the late 1960s and in computational and generative art\ud
since the mid 1970s. Brown investigates the history of new media, which is celebrating its\ud
60th anniversary, and clearly places Sade and Bracks at the forefront of this genre nationally.\ud
The second essay is by arts writer Linda Carroli, who has delved deeply into the thoughts\ud
and processes of the artists to bring to light the complex workings of the artists’ minds. The\ud
publication also features an interview Carroli conducted with the artists.\ud
This exhibition is playful, informative and contemplative. The audience is invited to play,\ud
and consequently to ponder the way we live and the environmental and social implications\ud
of our choices. The exhibition tempts us to travel deep into the Antarctic, plunge into the\ud
Great Barrier Reef, be swamped by an orchestra of crickets, enter the Charmed world and\ud
travel back in time to a Victorian parlour where you can interact with a ‘new-world’ lyrebird\ud
and consider a brave new world where our only link to the animal world is with robotic\ud
representations.\ud
In essence this exhibition is about ideas and knowledge and what better institution than\ud
the State Library of Queensland to partner such a project?. State Library is committed to\ud
preserving culture, exploring new media and creating new content as a lasting legacy of\ud
Queensland for all Queenslanders
Never standing still: using evidence to improve visitors’ experiences at State Library of Queensland
Full text linkState Library of Queensland (SLQ) provides free access to information and services for all Queenslanders, as well as fulfilling the role of primary collector of Queensland’s document heritage. The Visitor Experience team leads the organisation in this goal, working to promote and nurture a positive and engaging experience for all visitors to State Library, regardless of whether people visit us in person, via our telephone service, website or social media channels. To do this, we gather, interpret and apply a range of quantitative and qualitative data sets, using evidence to inform decision making in service innovation. This case study will examine a selection of these data sources to demonstrate how SLQ responds to the evidence to create an agile, continuously improving service. By investing in data collection and analysis, SLQ’s Visitor Experience team is able to respond in a timely and appropriate manner to the rapidly changing needs and expectations of our visitors
