[Episode 2 Transcript: Zulejha: Hi, and welcome to another edition of the Melba Loop. I’m Zulejha, and I’m with one of Melba’s volunteers, Luke. Zulejha: So Luke, what do you actually do as a volunteer here at Melba? Luke: I take photos and edit together videos. Zulejha: Fantastic! So how are you finding it so far? What do you like about it? Luke: I love the environment and the opportunity Melba has given me to use my knowledge about design. Because it is something that I studied at university. Zulejha: Awesome! So where did you actually study? Luke: Swinburne University Zulejha: Great! And what course was that? Luke: It was called multimedia. Zulejha: Multimedia, awesome. So it’s actually really related to what you studied at uni? Luke: Yes Zulejha: Perfect. And what are you hoping to do after your volunteering experience? Luke: Well, I love the sense of community that I have with Melba, and I love the different types of work with different people. Zulejha: Fantastic. And word on the grapevine is that you recently went on a really cool holiday to Japan. Can you tell us more about your trip to Japan? Luke: Yes, I recently been to Japan, and I went to the TeamLab Borderless museum, which is the only digital museum in the world. Um, and it challenged my ideas of time, space and sound. Zulejha: Oh wow, that sounds awesome! So you would recommend it to other people who would travel to Japan? Luke: Yes! Zulejha: Oh Great! So obviously it’s something that sparked your interest as you already have an interest in design. Fantastic. Zulejha: So, when you actually walk into the digital museum, what do you actually hear and see? Luke: It is an overload of information and you are basically set in a position which is borderless; which is the name of the museum. You can’t get a sense of the direction, there is no set course to the final destination. So what you see each time you visit might be different, or slightly different. Zulejha: God, that sounds awesome! Something to check out I reckon for anyone who’s visiting Japan. Zulejha: So thank you so much for your time today Luke. We really appreciate it.
