Mouthful of Dust is a cinematic web experience that brings diverse new perspectives on Ned Kelly, Australia’s most notorious bushranger. Five remarkable Australian writers guide us through imaginative journeys as we orbit uncanny, high-resolution scans of 19th-century objects floating in digital space. Through an innovative design that seamlessly merges cinema and the web, the writers’ stories suggest different ways of knowing these historic artefacts. Mouthful of Dust sets a new benchmark for immersive web experiences that employ 3D technologies to engage in meaningful storytelling.
