Josephine Starrs

Josephine Starrs has two decades of experience as an artist working working across video, photomedia and new media; researching, creating and exhibiting projects, and speaking at international conferences on the subject of new technologies and culture. In 2003 she curated a major international Dlux Media Arts event in Sydney, 'Plaything', which focused on current and future trends in the field of digital games and featured key Australian and international game designers, theorists and artists.

Her most recent project was 'Downstream', a media art installation that responds to the issues of climate change in ways that are mythical, biblical and chemical. 'Downstream' was created during a residency at Performance Space Carriageworks in 2009 and was later exhibited at the Australian Embassy Gallery in Washington DC as part of 'Impact By Degrees'.
