MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
an interactive online experienceIn early 2021, CuriousWorks launched Make Yourself At Home, a socially distanced interactive online experience where audiences explore the rooms and perspectives of CuriousWorks’ Makers Space artists during quarantine. The work was developed over 2020, when artists met remotely over the long months of lockdown in Sydney. The work became a time-capsule of 2020 – an interactive experience where you explore a house, interacting with the objects and environment throughout the house to reveal snippets of the residents’ lives. It combines 360 degree photography, video, audio, and a host of online services to recreate the experiences and emotions of the artists in quarantine.
The work invites audiences to consider their own socially distanced experiences and ask questions like:
Whether you’re on your phone or a laptop, make sure you get some headphones, get comfy, and Make Yourself At Home.
“Particularly when COVID first started and you couldn’t go anywhere, couldn’t do anything, it was a really nice way to maintain some sort of normalcy… and that was huge for me, I really liked it and I wanted to put that into the work.” —Kristina Savic (Makers Space participant)

What do our bedrooms say about us?
What does your house become when it’s the only place you can be?
Did people collect pop vinyls during the Spanish Flu?
