Elite Event Technology provided a complete audiovisual solution with quite a few twists for the official launch event of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra’s latest exhibition, Hyper Real.
As much of the exhibition is quite futuristic, our brief was to create a sense of this in the space for the launch event. Working with the Gallery’s team, we came up with the idea of why don’t we make the launch totally content driven so that the content actually provides the launch of the event, rather than someone from the gallery making a speech or similar. the gallery then worked with one of the artists from the exhibition who created the character that is the head in some of these images. this futuristic “talking head”, then actually launched the event.
This “talking head”, that we have to say was slightly creepy yet appealing all at the same time, was projected around a large round surface in the middle of the space, for those of you who visit the exhibition, you will discover the connection of this cylinder with one of the major exhibits in Hyper Real.
We also provided Martin VDO Sceptron fixtures to emulate Neon tube within the room as a part of the continuation of the futuristic look.
