Public art
A dynamic collection of public art features throughout the University's campuses contributing to the richness of university life and culture - and you're invited to take a look. Works vary enormously and include, among others:
- Sam Songailo's T.R.I.M, a large-scale digital display linked to data generated by the Tonsley campus building - such as heating/cooling, power usage and security information.
- Yara by Judy Watson is composed of nine steel-fabricated feathers comprising yarahonour the Kaurna Ancestor Spirit Tjilbruke – the glossy ibis – and pays tribute to the traditional owners of the land on which Flinders University was founded.
- Chandelier by Deb Jones, Catherine Truman and Ian Gibbins was conceived in response to the 2012 decommissioning of a suite of microscopes and ancillary tools and equipment from the School of Medicine. The reconfigured pieces produced Chandelier, which offers a glimpse of the work that emerged from the collaboration.
