Felix Weber

Felix Weber, WOMAD 2018-2021 site manager, is a tech, music and installation wizard. A long-term Change Media collaborator, Felix delivered digital media workshops in communities across Australia. His recent work include site-specific installation, sculptural works and mapped video projections for the Adelaide Fringe and several large-scale events. He has access to loads of toys and is not afraid to use them.
I have been described as a jack of all trades, generalist and a polymath. The strength of my work does not come from specialisation, but rather a broad range of skills and eclectic knowledge. Driven by an insatiable desire to learn new skills and to constantly experiment with different mediums, I am most comfortable pushing boundaries and exploring new ideas.

I started my creative career in the digital space with 3D modelling, image manipulation and animation. Whilst this space was technically limitless I eventually found myself wanting to create more than just digital images. Creating tangible and tactile work drove me to start building, using carpentry, welding and CNC fabrication.

The collaborations on ‘_this breath is not mine to keep’ offered me several opportunities to combine multiple skills and mediums across sculpture and installation.
