Echo Tables – Sydney Opera House: Creative Play
I was commissioned to create an interactive artwork for the July Creative Play program at the Opera House. Creative Play runs every school holidays and aims to provide children with an experience where they can become the artists.
The brief was an artwork that could accomodate a large number of participants at one time, had a very low barrier of entry but allowed for deep relationships to emerge. Additionally it had to run unsupervised into the evening and power itself off at the end of the night.
This was achieved technically by Kinect sensors feed a depth image to custom software. The images are processed and sent to projectors. Due to the low roof height we used compact short throw projectors and mirrors to hit the tables.
Echo Table is available for deployment at your event in standard or customised versions. For further information contact me.

City of Sydney – Envirobank sculpture
In conjunction with their Envirobank program the City of Sydney commissioned Papermoose to create a giant 10c coin sculpture out of plastic bottles. It was installed at Customs House in June/July 2014. I was brought in as lighting consultant. Challenges on this project were that the lighting solution had to be attractive, low power, low maintenance and weatherproof. To meet these requirements IP rated LED strip with PWM colour changing was installed. Timers were used to make it set and forget – lighting automatically came on and off as designed.
