Save Sydney Harbour “Pictition”

What is the Pictition?

 

The Pictition is a major artwork digitally composed of thousands of faces. The original work is the Wynne Prize 2006 winning painting “The Gap” by John Beard. Appropriately it is a timeless image of the entrance to Sydney Harbour, as it was prior to white settlement, and as it remains today.

 

 

Why the faces?

 

The faces represent the more than 85% of Sydneysiders found by our Newspoll survey to oppose

  1. The permanent loss of public land to commercial development
  2. The traffic and environmental impact of trucking cargo back to Sydney
  3. The loss of our working port facilities

The huge Pictition (4m x 5.3m) will be unveiled at the Sydney Town Hall at 6:00pm on 7 February 2007. It will be shown at other locations and then presented to a major NSW art gallery or museum. The project is being supported, and assisted, by Sydney College of the Arts. Do join us at the Town Hall for the launch.
