Artist Development Program
Audio-Visual Basics
Dylan Batty
This workshop will introduce the basic technical and conceptual aspects of Audio Visual Installation within galleries, giving them the confidence to install simple AV based shows.
Students will learn how to safely handle and install TVs, projectors and audio equipment, along with media player setup, simple wiring, projector setup, theory of placement and other considerations with AV installation in gallery spaces.
This workshop suits people with the experience using power tools, however this is not essential.
