\nThe main gallery space features a 3.3m wide projection screen for display of a looping 20 minute montage of archival film and photography. The sequence presents documentary footage relating to the themes of the exhibition and helps to create a sense of the important social changes of the Whitlam Government era (1972-75).<\/p>\n
\nWorking with longtime collaborator Robert St Clair (software developer), I created five different iPad interactives for the exhibition. The iPads are mounted alongside showcase displays of objects and documents, providing visitors a means to expore hundreds of documents including speeches, letters, reports, memos and photographs.<\/p>\n
\nWe created an interactive audio project where teachers and gallery staff can use a handheld bluetooth device to select and play various important speeches made by Gough Whitlam. <\/p>\n
