Last year, my mother decided to quit her day job as an academic and plunge headfirst into the art world, starting her own gallery! She is now the proud owner and director of Lumière Gallery, in Cottesloe, Perth.
Of course, she needed a website to promote exhibitions, and so the Lumière Gallery website was born.
(What a cool mum, huh?)
‘Gratitude’ was created as a closing animation for the ‘Beware the Robots’ website. It is a simple animation solely designed to convey my thanks to everyone who had helped and inspired me in creating the site.

“Too often, individuals are unaware of the impact of their interactions on their immediate environment.
Many only expect the most direct effects of their interactions to present themselves.
Ripples created in a quiet creek may fade from the surface, but the resonance of even a small displacement can, through repetition, result in a disturbance greater than the sum.
Like ripples in a stream expanding and compounding to create waves, disturbances from any interaction shall (in one way or another) present themselves.
The subtle interactions between object & user, and object & object in an environment are usually mistaken for slight random variations of constantly repeating patterns.
The fourth discipline examines the recognition of indirect interaction between an environment and its user through the distortion of patterns.”
The ‘Beware the Robots’ animation was the introductory title animation for a website I made back in 2001. The BewareTheRobots website was a collection of experimental flash animations & interactives with no central theme or narrative.I remember wanting to create an entertaining work with my then favourite string piece; Dmitri Shostakovich’s 8th String Quartet. After brainstorming for weeks on a series of fairly serious allegories based around ‘the victims of war and fascism’ for an animation, I decided ‘to hell with it, I just want to make killer robots’ and BewareTheRobots is the result.
