HERE TO THERE Emily Gobeille's Zany parade

HERE TO THERE
poster series for children

A project created in collaboration with Theodore Watson. It was the featured exhibition on Servicio Ejecutivo in March '08.

Here to There ("City" and "Jungle") is the first pair in a series of experimental posters for children that combine science, nature, algorithm and design, to feed their imagination and curiosity.

We developed a suite of software tools using openFrameworks to programmatically build elements based around concepts like algorithm, permutation, cause and effect, and topology to name a few. These elements are the building blocks for the different worlds and become a part of the stories being told. The programmatic designed elements are mixed with hand illustrated forms and quirky creatures to create a bizarre hybrid world that talks to both hemispheres of the brain. Some of the programmed elements are quite obvious but others like extracted elevation data from a Hawaiian volcano and craters from the surface of the Moon are much more subtle. We even have the waveform of our voice as a part of the landscape.

Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice

"First hand topical accounts are featured from leading academics, health researchers, nurse educators, physicians, educators, environmentalists, artists and others who actively use the creative arts in interdisciplinary practice in cutting edged research and in methodologies for health, hope and change. Readers will discover how the creative arts in interdisciplinary practice can re-illuminate the human story, stage human vulnerability, foster citizenship and give voice to narratives of human experience".

Research and Practice

"ArtsHealth is the connection or interface between the arts and creativity, and health, science and well-being.

There is tremendous interest in research that explores the nature and effectiveness of the interface between creative arts, health and allied disciplines, and for artists and arts academics to work with those in the community actively involved in promoting health and well-being across all groups and in a wide range of contexts. Areas of interest include the interface between the arts and developments in therapies, educational strategies, treatments, techonolgies and environments that aim to promote and enhance individual health and healthy functioning communities.

Research shows that in clinical settings, encouraging patients to engage with the arts can help them to manage pain and the side effects of some treatments, to alleviate stress and anxiety and to come to terms with what can be major and distressing episodes in their lives.

Incorporating the arts into the design of health care facilities has positive benefits for staff, for patients and for their carers. Integrating the arts into the training and professional development of health professionals helps them better communicate with and understand their patients, from all social and ethnic groups".
