A multi-speaker sound system provided spatialised audio.<\/p>\n<p>Each plasma screen displayed 1280 x 768 resolution media delivered directly from three synchronised computers. The high resolution created a striking photo-quality effect. The proprietary software FIRE, developed by Clinic Design and New Media, Adelaide, was used to create two unique media programs. <\/p>\n<p>A 45 minute program explored various perspectives on Brisbane through video interviews with 20 Brisbane residents, composited against illustrative backgrounds combining archival media, personal photo albums, maps, audio and photography. <\/p>\n<p>The other program was a 20 minute visual history of Brisbane tracing from pre-contact time to 1901 using drawings, maps, watercolours and early photography. The programs alternated throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px\" class=\"alignright\">gary warner 2012<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p><strong>Services<\/strong><br \/>\nconcept<br \/>\nmultimedia production<br \/>\ncreative direction<br \/>\ntechnical systems design<br \/>\ncommissioning<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contract Period<\/strong><br \/>\nMar 2003 \u2013 Dec 2003<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p> Opened to the public in December 2003, the Museum of Brisbane was an innovative social history facility created by the Brisbane City Council.<\/p>\n<p>Located in the 1930&#8217;s Brisbane Town Hall building on King George Square in the city center, it comprised a large changing exhibitions space for social history, another group of spaces for [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":13,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=115"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":824,"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/115\/revisions\/824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
