CQU Bundaberg multimedia lecturer Grayson Cooke, from the School of Contemporary Communication, has produced a digital installation for this week's Bundaberg Arts Festival.

Mr Cooke has collaborated with Dea Morgain to produce the installation called 'Still Burning Mountain'.

He said the project represented "an attempt to listen to what litters the ground, to what falls under-foot, to what escapes the eye but not the ear".

"The installation consists of slowly morphing images of rock, coral, shell, bone and seeds, which have been collected within the local region. Each image is of a tiny object, a fragment, a moment in a unbroken chain.".

'Still Burning Mountain' was created using digital macro-photography, and was produced using Macromedia Flash, the software application taught in the multimedia (Interactive Animation) course developed by Mr Cooke.

This is the first time a digital project has appeared in the Arts Festival, and the organisers are hoping to continue the tradition by adding a digital section to their competition next year.

CQU is also a sponsor of the festival.

Dea Morgain and Grayson Cooke are new-media artists and photographers based in Bargara, near Bundaberg.

Much of their art work focuses on an exploration and exposition of their mutual passion for the natural environment of South East Queensland.

Earlier in the year, the pair displayed an interactive installation piece entitled 'Desert Island' at the Bundaberg Arts Centre.
