MARKET MARKET//DARWIN FESTIVAL//26.08.2023 I AM A TEXT was one of a suite of short motion graphics and animations accompanied by sound recordings of Darwin’s Rapid Creek Markets by Carlo Ansaldo were distributed through the markets and market-based events as QR codes printed onto brown paper take away bags. Part of Market Market, an experimental artslab and site–specific exploration and celebration of the local communities that the Rapid Creek Market supports.


The transcript from the 2017 video work was worked up into a multipanel, wax covered Risographic print (see below). Individual panels were scanned and animated to be distributed and dispersed within the quotidian flows of market life.
