Ave! Melbourne!

For this exploration, involved videos might be recorded at various times, but the constant location of Bourke st provides an association with them. The real locations of those videos are more concentrated on Bourke st mall. So at the beginning of the video shows the map and Hoddle's grid geographically. The exhibition technique of frame is applied in it. The flat background squares are considered as frames in the digital viewing environment. The textures inside remind viewers to think of personal experiences to achieve the embodiment. Ideally, the video brings viewers to a specific position within their own memories or imagination. Besides, the digital site is more flexible, as the frame is not restricting the videos inside of it. Videos can move around. This reminds me of the magic frame in harry potter. Digital art-viewing experience provides more possibilities. I change the map into a larger scope so that the performances can be moved to various locations visually. I think this is also a stimulation for viewers to think or imagine.

Textures were taken from Bourke st. They are considered as frames in this digital environment to evoke viewers with their own memories.
The middle bar with "Bourke st" in the middle of the designed video is inspired by a video taken in Bourke st. This is a series of screenshots of it. The colour reflected on the tree keeps changing due to the billboard. It's pretty obvious and famous because it usually used to claim something.
