The Inland Sea would like to apologise for the mess while the site is undergoing a redesign. Stay tuned for version 2.0!
The Inland Sea is a web documentary about a ten-week odyssey in Australia.
The Inland Sea is authored by Norwegian journalist Steinar Ellingsen, as part of his creative PhD, currently undertaken at La Trobe University in Melbourne.
Between November 2008 and February 2009 Steinar and a team of three drove 17,000 kms from Melbourne, to Adelaide, Darwin, Perth and back. The team comprised of Norwegian artist Dida Sundet, viking Eirik Laugerud and Melbournian cameraman Ben Hall.
The project is an experiment in convergence journalism, and an effort in new media self-education for a newspaper trained journo.
The project is partially funded by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at La Trobe Unversity, and it is approved by the Faculty’s ethics committee.
