Mick Douglas

Mick Douglas is an Australian artist, senior lecturer at RMIT University and founder of tramtactic.net who makes hybrid-artform public domain projects that are collaborative, cross-cultural and transportative.
For the cultural festival of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games he collaborated with Pakistani vehicle decorators to make 'W-11 Tram' – a project that transformed the experience of a journey by tram, now undertaking its second season in Melbourne under popular demand. Recent experimental projects include 'Ride-on-Dinner' - a participatory performance project involving host artists serving up a 3-course slow-food meal to a swarm of cyclists over the duration of evening cycle rides. A book documenting his ten-year collaborative project 'tramjatra: imagining Melbourne and Kolkata by tramways' was recently published in South Asia by Yoda Press.
For the Doors of Perception / MediaWala festival he hopes to collaborate with others to develop a food and human energy event that explores relationships between transport, energy, food, local knowledge and practices of social conviviality.
