“If space junk is the human debris that litters<br />
the universe, Junkspace is the residue mankind<br />
leaves on the planet.” – Architect, Rem Koohlaas<br />
The concept was to exp<strong>and</strong> the Grid Gallery to<br />
encompass the space underneath the Western<br />
Distributor. Instead <strong>of</strong> simply promoting media<br />
screen art/screen <strong>interaction</strong>, there was a need<br />
to provide a space that enabled various artistic<br />
genres to be showcased. The exp<strong>and</strong>ed gallery<br />
space would unify the unnoticed screens <strong>of</strong><br />
the Grid Galley <strong>and</strong> the ugliness <strong>of</strong> the Western<br />
Distributor, hence turning the corner <strong>of</strong> Erskine<br />
<strong>and</strong> Sussex Street into an artistic destination.<br />
The decision to re-use <strong>and</strong> re-purpose plastic<br />
bags was to show how we neglect to consider<br />
the environmental impact <strong>of</strong> plastic bags –<br />
according to Clean Up Australia, there are 3.76<br />
billion plastic bags in l<strong>and</strong>fills. By populating the<br />
plastic bags around the areas <strong>of</strong> the screen <strong>and</strong><br />
highway brings attention to the neglected space.<br />
The plastic bags are metaphors for the neglected<br />
space in our minds – something we just don’t<br />
consider, as it doesn’t impact us directly.<br />
Our group Fy. is an art <strong>and</strong> <strong>design</strong> collaborative<br />
trio comprising <strong>of</strong> Susanne Chan (Artist), Adityo<br />
Pratomo (Programmer), <strong>and</strong> Johnny Campos<br />
