Everyday, enormous amounts of natural resources are unearthed from Australian soil. Trains like this one, loaded with iron ore, snake along the longest railway line in the world, undulating through the Australian desert. The trains arrive at the shore and unload onto ships constantly scuttling across the seas between Australia and China.
Most of these resources go towards building infrastructure and making products. But new office buildings house workers growing and innovating in new industries. Transport enables new connections and then new ideas to flower. Factories are staffed by parents buying their children an education for the jobs of the future.
From the riches of the Australian underground, China is fashioning a new world. We humbly ask you to imagine for us what it might look like.
Send us photos, music, movies, animations - any visual or sound that transcends language barriers.
All material will be collated and edited into a giant projection adorning some of China's biggest screens. It will be a skyscraper of the new world, as imagined by its citizens.
Please send material to china@curiousworks.com.au. If your media is too big to email, upload it somewhere and send us the link.
Screenings will take place in late November. Details of screening times and locations will be confirmed closer to the date.
This is a CuriousWorks project as part of the On the Edge initiative - touring a group of New Media and Hybrid artists from Australia to Beijing and Chengdu during the Year of Australia in China 2010.

每天，澳大利亚出产数不胜数的天然矿藏。装满铁矿石的列车，蜿蜒于世界上最长的铁路上，绵延于澳大利亚广阔无垠的沙漠上。在港口，货船接过火车的货物，飘洋过海往返于中国和澳大利亚之间。
这些矿藏不仅为基础设施建设和生产建设做出贡献。同时也服务于建筑业和创新产业。交通的发展把人们更紧密的联系到一起，并让新的想法绽放出奇葩。工厂里忙碌的父母们都在为他们孩子未来的教育和就业辛勤地付出。
依托澳大利亚丰富的地下矿藏，中国正在塑造一个全新的世界。我们诚挚的邀请您为我们想象一下美好的未来。
给我们发送照片，音乐，电影，动画——任何超越语言的视觉和听觉材料。
所有的材料将被剪辑整理成短片，将在中国最巨大的银幕上映。这将凝结中国民众的智慧，成为新世界的标志。
请将材料发送到china@curiousworks.com.au。如果您的材料太大不能通过邮件发送，请通过网络上传，并把下载连接发给我们。
材料的筛选将在11月底进行。筛选的具体日程将在近期另行通知。
这个CuriousWorks工作室的项目将作为On The Edge大型活动的主力，On The Edge是2010年中澳文化年系列活动的重要组成部分，它集合了澳大利亚优秀的新媒体艺术家和混合艺术家，并且将在北京和成都进行巡回演出。
