Landung in Australien, a project developed by Wachter and Jud during their 9-week EMARE research residency by the QUT Precincts residency space will be presented in the framework of a residency exhibition. The opening night event of this exhibition will be held on the 31th of March at The Block, QUT Creative Industries Precinct, Kelvin Grove.

The exhibition is opened between the 1st and the 10th April daily 2 pm - 6 pm (closed on Friday the 3rd and Monday the 6th of April).

Wachter and Jud are working collaboratively on extended research into current refugee policy and the lack of communication and isolation that surrounds asylum seeker detainees. Through their work, Wachter and Jud aim to consider an expanded dialogue that attempts to hear the voices of people living in detention to include the currently excluded perspectives on this complex humanitarian issue. Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud have worked together on participatory community projects since 2000 and their collaboration fuses art, science and technology. The duo have received numerous international awards and accolades from Ars Electronica, Transmediale, the Saxon State Ministry for Science and the Arts, Swiss Federal Office of Culture just to name a few.
