MAP mima workshops and residencies

MAP mima workshops

MAP mima is a place for experimentation, skill building and creation. Each year we offer workshops, residencies and commission artworks.

MAP mima Artist Residency

Residencies at MAP mima provide an opportunity for artists to develop and present new work.

Artists in Residence focus on creating video work for The Cube at MAP mima – a four-metre-tall and 36-metre-long 360-degree wrap around digital canvas, powered by eight projectors using Resolume mapping software. They are also encouraged and supported to create works for other spaces within MAP mima, including The Node, a video projection space; The North Wall, which features a six-channel responsive soundscape; and the Discovery Ports, a series of illuminated niches in the walls of the foyer for display of small works.

Artists present the works created as part of the residency or deliver workshop projects with the public.

360 Projection Masterclass

Projection art gurus illuminart will help bring your creative ideas into a 360-degree projected image environment. This five-day intensive masterclass is aimed at artists working with video and moving imagery.

For the 2022 Masterclass, three local artists and three artists from around Australia were supported to develop their practices and create new digital works. 

Stay tuned for the next open call. 

The Virtual Landscape – Augmented Reality
