PublicReading (II) imagines into the personal narratives of library visitors and their connection with the space. This work draws inspiration from the pathways and behaviours of library visitors, looking at how the modern library function centres around the people that come into the library building, and how their personal histories become part of the library’s archive as stories that exist beyond the pages. • The first iteration of PublicReading was developed as a live performance and installation with the support of The School (BE), Bibliotheek Hasselt Limburg, Dear Hunter, Australian Cultural Fund and Ars Musica Australis. This new work, developed specifically for the State Library of WA evolves from anonymous observation, mapping and documentation of the individuals that visit the library, capturing the personal narratives that cross this private/public space. • Walking the line between fact and fiction, private and public, PublicReading (II) moves between intimate glimpses into the people within our libraries and the stories they have to tell. • https://xrwa.com.au/fourbyfour/ • Uniting art, performance and film production elements designed to deliver a Virtual Reality experience, FourByFour consists of four immersive VR short films produced by Revelation Perth International Film Festival and created in collaboration with Co3 Contemporary Dance and Tura New Music. • 4 VR directors, 4 choreographers, 4 dancers and 4 composers will each interpret the unique landscapes of 4 locations in the Perth Cultural Centre – the WA State Library, the Art Gallery of WA, the State Theatre Centre of WA and the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts – exploring space, art, history, story and architecture in this high-concept, multidisciplinary collaboration of physical expression and digital technology. • COVID-19 brought the art and performance sector to a standstill and FourByFour is a fusion of craft designed to forge new relationships, born out of a mission to provide employment opportunities to creative artists as well as to produce and share inspiring, creative works. • FourByFour premiered for free in VR at XR:WA 2020 in Perth on 3-6 December, 2020.
