Dark Mofo Dome
by joelzika
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.

Geelong After Dark

With the help of Simeon Taylor I built a interactive projection that revealed a lost piece of Geelong’s architectural history. We used an htc vive inverted to create virtual flashlights that people could use to explore the augmented 3d sculptures I’d built. The work took place during Geelong’s After Dark festival.

A Southern Dark Ride
by joelzika
In June of 2016, artist Joel Zika built an animated installation in a historic ghost train in Oxford Alabama. Using projection mapping designed specifically for this unusual space. Original props were removed and the darkened tunnels were used to build a new immersive space.
