THE NAKED SELF:
'The Naked Self' is a digital theatre project, created for the 2nd Festival Of Live Art (FOLA). It was created in consort with project directors Michele Lee and Tanya Dickson, as well as designer Matthew Adey (House of Vnholy). The project was developed over the course of 12 months, and as well as collaborating with the other artists on the design, function and experience of the project and the mobile app at it's core, Russell created the score and sound design for the application itself.
There could be thousands of photos of you online. How many really show who you are and how you feel about yourself? In the safety of your own private booth, while undressed, a voice will lead you to examine yourself as you may never have before. Here, you’ll create a one-off, audio-only self-portrait. An immersive blend of both confessional and digital culture, The Naked Self is a chance to view yourself from a special and unique perspective.
The Naked Self was commissioned as part of In Your Hands – a new series of artworks and installations that invite audiences to create experiences mediated through hand-held technology. In Your Hands was commissioned by Arts House through the Australia Council’s New Digital Theatre Initiative.
