Another Ocean is an interactive digital artwork. It invokes visions of a seascape both familiar and foreign, immersing visitors in a meditative data visualisation of a city’s weather. Visitors can interact with the work in real-time with their smartphones. The artwork becomes alive as more people interact with it. The weather is detected in real-time, which changes the parameters of the particles. This makes the artwork endlessly changing.
We’ve been presenting this artwork around New Zealand, notably during After Dark Festival in Tauranga in May 2022, we also presented a video-only version of it in Bunjil Square, Melbourne, in the summer 2022-23.
A sneaky Takahe needs visitor's help to give festive gifts during the festive season. Visitors are invited to go on a website with their smartphone and choose a digital gift with a message that will open up in front of their eyes on the big screen. The more gifts are added, the more the screen is loaded with decorations. When all slots are full, a surprise appears to reset the screen.
This is the artwork to bring a festive feel for a special occasion. This artwork’s theme can be changed to match another theme such as Easter, Halloween, or a custom theme.
Shadows is a body recognition installation that invites people to move and explore their own body in another light.
As they explore their Shadow with movements and speed, their Shadow follows them and sound is generated from their movements. Participants are free to choose how they want to connect with their Shadows. Shadows invites participants to walk, raise their hands, dance, and observe their own Shadow from a digital screen.
We premiered it as a part of Auckland Arts Festival 2021, we also shared it during various marketing events.
Aotea Symphony is an interactive sound experience. Visitors are invited to turn sounds from the city into a visual symphony through a digital screen. Collaborate with strangers of all ages and backgrounds to transform unnoticed surrounding sounds into a beautiful symphony, a song they can relate to in a joyful way. To create their own symphony, they have to step on the buttons and make their masterpiece!
We presented it as a part of Summer in the Square 2020-21, with the support of Creative New Zealand.
As part of Artweek 2020, we collaborated with Auckland City Central library and Auckland Council to present a projection on the St James wall in front of the library.
We created an audio visual experience that played with the windows of the wall, and with its relation to our lockdown period earlier in the year.
Watch the windows of the St James come to life as stories from our lockdown period unfold.
