Joan Kelly

(Australia)
Joan Kelly originally trained as a sound engineer and artist who created environmentally based sound installations. She transferred these skills into working on sound teams for film and TV while completing an MA Media Arts, before moving across to a museum based practise where she creates exhibition based mini-documentaries centred around oral histories.
Joan has recently re-ignited her passion for environmental sound to tell stories of time and place in situ and is currently working on a number of location-based story-telling projects which explore acoustic ecology. Watch this space.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
