The day of the dead scroll 1 (detail), Kylie Watson

An exhibition of artist books and sculptural prints from artist Kylie Watson.

Set in Stone, J.Rosenbaum

From Melbourne-based AI artist J. Rosenbaum, Set in Stone features a generated mosaic and augmented reality video created using artificial intelligence. With creations revealing AI perceptions of gender, the work is a result of training the bias out of a biased neural network to prove that gender is not always set-in-stone.

Visual Arts students at Swinburne University of Technology have partnered with Knox Council to contribute to Immerse 2024. Students have created artworks embracing the theme of identity. They have experimented with a variety of materials through their creations and presented final artworks as giant paste-ups installed around Knox, creating a spectacular outdoor gallery. Thank you to the following students who developed work for this project: Dana Brown, Katie Dell, Lily Forbes-Tegner, Sanj Garnham, Max Kelly, Aurora Leigh, Angus Sheldrake-Reece, Kris Tokmakidis, AJ Woodward and Michael Yanovsky.
