Light on the Fringe is a collaborative new media project featuring multiple digital projections, sound and moving images illuminating the outside east wall of the Umbrella Studio building. A variety of new media artists from local schools, James Cook University and Umbrella Studio members have come together to develop these works coordinated by Robert Crispe, SoCA Graduate, filmmaker and photographer.The creative process throughout the months leading up to the exhibition has been experimental and the diversity of artists involved with Light on the Fringe has allowed the exhibition to showcase digital experiments that incorporate photography, video, animation, drawing and painting with some of these experiments combining interactive elements. This event coincides with the biennial outdoor sculpture exhibition Strand Ephemera, on display from 30 August – 8 September 2013 and delivered by Gallery Services, Townsville City Council.
