Responding to the theme ๐ฝ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ Eora/Sydney-based artist Charles Marlow submitted ๐๐๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐จ๐๐๐ง. The judging panel commended Charles's artwork for his engaging exploration of myths across timeโfrom their celestial origins, through oral traditions, and into the realm of technology. Praise was given to the vibrant use of colour, the game-like pixelation that forms the creatures, and the expansive, intriguing digital world the artist has created.

Myths have historically been born from the sky, the sea, the land, the mountains, stories told to help us understand and interact with the world around us. They have been told through oral traditions, written tales, films, and now, translated from our past into complex interactive networks of code and technology such as Black Myth: Wu-Kong. What does this do to our perception of mythology? Does the world existing on the other side of the screen, instead of embedded within our own, create a sense of separation from the tale? Are these stories still an expression of our human experience in our world? What does it mean for journeys such as Sun Wu Kong's to become our own through the use of intermediary technologies? With this work I hope to explore some of these questions. In the video we journey through a liminal space where mythology shifts between our physical world and the digital world, which is perhaps the space that is now where mythology lives in our minds.
