AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'[Food for the Great] Hungers uses techniques from Complex Systems science to create a simulated re-imagining of Australian history since 1901 under the audience's control. Using an array of purpose-built interactive devices, the audience will revise and alter Australia's responses to the challenges and crises of the 20th century, exploring a range of alternative Australias to answer questions such as: how did our society grow and evolve over the decades and centuries? Is Australia's unique culture the result of decisive action on the part of its leaders, the physical geography of this continent, or merely due to chance?'
