Hello, my name is
Robert Walton
I am an artist, educator and writer.
2020
This year I’m the Resident Artist in the School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne. I’m working on a Child of Now prototype in collaboration with Arts Centre Melbourne and a major new digital artwork for Melbourne Connect. Get in touch for more details.
Future
Thursday 4 June The Connected You: Entertainment – Melbourne Connect (online). I’ll be discussing my current projects Child of Now and The Heart, collaborations with scientists, and some perspectives on emerging frontiers of entertainment post-lockdown. In conversation with Garry Williams. Free, but registration required.
Talking publicly about future projects is always risky, but this talk at @melbourneConnnect was great fun. Katrina Sedgwick reveals exciting details about the @ACMI revamp. I talk about my projects Child of Now and The Heart from 35 mins. https://t.co/u5sOiOxalM
