Locative Painting: Eugene Von Guerard in the Corangamite Shire (2008-10 work-in-progress)
Supported by Geoplaced Knowledge and Design Research Institute, RMIT University
Project collaboration with Corangamite Arts

Summary: Locative Painting is both a cultural heritage and networked media project that explores the relationship between Eugene Von Guerard’s landscape paintings and the locations they documented in the Corangamite Shire of Victoria. Locative Painting uses transdisplinary research to bring together art historians, media/design practitioners and community members. Networked Media technologies are utilised to explore new ways of presenting colonial heritage in relation to specific ‘place-based’ locations. These technologies include the development of a customised website using Global Positioning System (GPS) mapping and a portable media player prototype.
