Greg Ferris
Dr Gregory Ferris is a media 'construct-ant' who works across various media environments, including interactive media, installation, virtual reality and traditional moving images. He's worked consistently in the industry since his first experimental films screened on the ABC in the mid-eighties. He was a Cinematographic Designer and post-production supervisor of the Eavesdrop installation project, the world's first panoramic, interactive, multi-linear narrative film. He was presented in installation form at the Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney Festivals*. He also was editor, compositor and cinematographer on the pioneering ARC-funded project Conversations*, the world's first 360-degree virtual reality stereoscopic, narrative interactive, and was exhibited at the Powerhouse Museum in December 2004. He's worked with several of Australia's leading visual artists with time-based media and installation, including Susan Norrie, Julie Rrap, Dennis Del Favero, Merilyn Fairskye, Anne Ferran, Shaun Gladwell and Lynette Wallworth. He graduated with a PhD from the College of Fine Arts, Sydney, Australia, in 2013, with his thesis entitled Every Time I leave the Room: image, time and Metadata in off-screen space.
