Welcome to visiting my website, I am very excited to use this new space as a place to bring together all my artistic activities and interdisciplinary interests. Mainly lots of exciting images and up to date information on what’s happening in my creative practice and collaborative research projects. Eleanor Gates-Stuart

InterVisible: Visions from the Intersection of Science and Art
Abstract: “Usually, scientific images are conversations stoppers; Science art is a conversation starter” – Dr Matthew Morell, CSIRO Food Futures Flagship. This work highlights the complementarity of Science and Art. Our recent experiences have shown that Art can take Science to places and audiences that it could not otherwise reach. We believe that through, and with Art, CSIRO and other research organisations can engage a much broader audience and, in doing so, increase the impact of Science.

Museum of Australian Democracy – Architectural Projections

Enlighten 2013: Museum of Australian Democracy Architectural Projections by Eleanor Gates-Stuart

Enlighten 2013: Museum of Australian Democracy – Architectural Projections by Eleanor Gates-Stuart

Museum of Australian Democracy – Sketch and Projection

This concept celebrates MOAD as heritage museum to Old Parliament and the media communications of the times. Using visual iconic references to technology of that era and its importance to the life of Parliament, public knowledge and National information.

Democratic Messages – Lines of Communication

I felt it important to bring the main Chambers ‘out of the building’ and experience the once vibrant historical spaces open and celebrated in large-scale. To enable such detail I used a robotic attachment to camera to capture 70 images in a panoramic detail and digitally stitched together for each Chamber. Subtle references to election speeches are embedded behind the silhouettes.

 

National Library of Australia – Architectural Projections

Enlighten 2013: Architectural Projections at the National Library of Australia by Eleanor Gates-Stuart

National Library of Australia – Sketches & Projection Photographs

Referencing the library’s collection of Australian board games in juxtaposition with historical artefacts to explore Australia’s history.

The Federation Game

The Federation Game was published for Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia by the Australian Government Publishing Service (1987) and is an interesting use of the snakes and ladders theme. I have used these references in re-sketching the board and aligning these references on the building

Race to the Gold Diggings of Australia Game

Game based on the Voyage to the Gold Diggings of Australia based on travelling the seas.  I have playfully juxtaposed objects, altered visual perspective, rearranged numbers and direction of timelines to create a larger than life surreal viewpoint.

Questacon Architectural Projections

ENLIGHTEN 2013: Bugs and Plants on Questacon

Very exciting to see that the final projections are a match to the concepts and artwork.

 

Mapping Insects (BUGS): Texture and Environment

3D reconstructed insects from the Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO. The insects are placed on a static visual plane that changes in timeframe onto the building and have a visual dynamic effect from both walls or at a corner.

 

Grassland Series

Plants through an artistic 3D ‘lens’ and the complex structure of the plant, texture and DNA. A translated 3D model and simulated environment viewed as ‘internal’ landscape on external walls.

Canberra is Enlightened

Posted Fri Mar 1, 2013 7:56pm AEDT

Canberra’s public buildings have become canvasses for art – it’s Enlightened.

Source: ABC 7.30 ACT 

Duration: 4min 34sec

The report features previous Enlighten Architectural Projections as this is a preview to the Enlighten 2013

Sneak Peak ENLIGHTEN 2013

ENLIGHTEN: A sneak peek at one of the architectural projections starting tonight in Canberra.

It has been an amazing experience to make the concepts become real and to see the buildings transform with the artworks. Wow… large scale and in 3D .. amazing.

Electric Canvas are brilliant to work with and have created an excellent showcase for Enlighten 2013.  The above image shows Questacon actually lit up (centre image) whilst the other smaller images are my concept sketches. I hope to publish these here soon once the Enlighten Program is well on its way. The National attraction buildings that have my artwork: the National Library of Australia, Questacon and the Museum of Australian Democracy (Old Parliament).

StellrScope

StellrScope Logo by Eleanor Gates-Stuart

StellrScope celebrates the story of wheat innovation over the last century, from the days of wheat experimentalist William Farrer to the food futures research of today.

StellrScope is the Centenary of Canberra Science Art Commission awarded for 2013. StellrScope Blog

The Centenary Science Art Commission is jointly funded by the ACT Government and the Australian Government and is one of many projects taking place to mark the Centenary of Canberra in 2013. StellrScopE will be completed in 2013 and displayed at Questacon and the CSIRO Discovery Centre in Canberra.
