pubs.rights-statement	The Double World was a major immersive installation that used voice, code, sound, animation, light, performance and the natural acoustic and spatial environments of three chambers in the historic Building 20 at Newington Armory, Sydney Olympic Park. The installation specifically explored motion capture technology as a source of data to create a unique visual and acoustic sensory environment. The installation was based on an interpretation of the myth of Orpheus, focusing particularly on Orpheus’s descent into the Underworld and the mysteries of the River Styx . The unique interior that consisted of three large chambers provided scope for three discrete yet inter-related works. Elements of order and chaos were investigated through choreography and traced using motion capture technology. These traces were then used to animate and sonify the three chambers providing interconnecting moments of stillness and disturbance across each. The installation featured my work along with that of Michael Day, Gavin Perin, Rachael Priddel, Michaela Coe, Meryl Tankard, Colin Black and Yanna Black. The Double World was commissioned by Tony Nesbitt, Arts Officer for the Sydney Olympic Park Authority. During the exhibition three public events occurred, the opening night, workshops during the Youth Eco Summit 2013 and an artist’s talk. Approximately 1800 persons viewed the exhibition.	en_US

Abstract:

Double World The Double World is an installation experience created by tranSTURM that explores motion capture data and motion capture technologies as visual, audio and spatial elements used across three chambers to create a meaningful, immersive installation experience. Central to The Double World is the Orphic myth. Of the many seminal moments in the story of Orpheus and his famous decent into the Underworld the mysteries of Orpheus and the River Styx will be explored through three chambers. The Mysteries of Orpheus according to legend Orpheus was associated with two powerful but opposing gods - Apollo and Dionysus. The three chambers of Building 20 reveal the god halves of Orpheus - Dionysus and Apollo. The attributes of order and chaos are explored through choreography and traced using motion capture technology. These traces are further animated and sonified and these digital assets comprise the installation media used to animate and sonfiy three chambers that further explore the properties of stillness and disturbance as interconnecting moments and experiences in each chamber. I was the Creative Director of the Double World and contributed to the creative content along with other artists including Mike Day, Gavin Perrin, Michaela Coe, Rachel Priddle, Jason Benedek and Colin Black. The Double World was visited by over 1800 people during its exhibition and was part of the Youth Eco Summit 2013 at the Armory.
