I’ve been working with Moth Design on a commission for the Dark Mofo festival in Hobart, Tasmania. Moth built the amazing dome space with reflective tables bespoke viewing platforms. The two-hour video work was projected via 8 projectors across the 10m dome and accompanied by a sound score by Fascinator.  The work ran from 10pm – 4am throughout the festival with a live audiovisual set from myself and Fascinator at midnight on the final Saturday.   Further info at https://www.drinkstrade.com.au/event/asahi-dome-dark-mofo-2019 […]
