Photos of Light Rhythm Plays! Interactive Projections

These photos of the No Boundaries Project show and the Interactive Mobile Projections and Light Drums were taken by Lenore Betteridge, one of the mobile AV crew trained during the No Boundaries Project.

Small luminous carts added a glowing element all around the Mondo performance area, and there were smiles and laughs as people of all ages discovered that music rhythms could make light and images magically appear!

Thank you immensely to CENTURY YUASA, who have as always helped us with great advice, battery and power expertise… the mobile projection carts were fitted with long running heavy duty batteries which enabled the operation of our interactive media throughout the No Boundaries show. We are working at the edge of innovation with reliable battery support – thank you!

No Boundaries Project ~ The Show!

On 21 & 22 September 2012, large scale projections transformed the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre with animation, sound, story, music and image… and smaller scale installations offered interactive experiences around the Mondo and nearby.

This was the exciting community presentation that interwove all of the many artworks together into a live public art presentation, projected onto the architecture of the Joan.

No Boundaries ‘Journey to the Riverscape’ was presented in a relaxed, accessible, safe and gentle setting suitable for all ages. The evening program concluded with a soft and dreamy composition about the Nepean River, with accompanying imagery created by the community of Penrith in a series of inclusive arts projects. The event also featured family friendly innovative interactive projection art from the Light Rhythm Plays project.

The No Boundaries Project offered many ways for the audience to engage with the artwork:

  • Daytime installations:

    • People listened to TRANSIT on their journey to Penrith and then explored the BUSHTRACK exhibition through Westfield Penrith looking at the exhibition artworks and collecting postcard art from selected sites. (this runs til end of September) See our downloads page for the MP3 and guide map.
    • Tactile / auditory Installations in the Mondo – these creative art pieces were attached to the pillars of the colonnade. They were created by local artists and were connected to the main story of the No Boundaries show, designed to be felt, touched and smelled to experience the story (although they are fun to look at as well)
  • Main show

      • The show began with a live performance by singer/songwriter Krystel Keller. Speeches by the Mayor and MP David Bradbury introduced the show.
      • This was followed by the looping projection, covering the large eastern wall of the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre, and smaller mobile interactive projections.

Yes, you too can play a tune with FRUIT!

Musical fruit instruments and other interactive fun at No Boundaries are being brought to you through the courtesy of Nepean Community College, Century Batteries, and Nepean College of Fine Art (TAFE NSW).

Interactive sound and lighting that you will be able to trigger through playing drums, or gesture, or (believe it or not) playing FRUIT? We don’t want to give too much away but at the No Boundaries event you’ll be able to experience these adventures at Battery powered carts operated by a new specially trained crew of people from Penrith.

We would like to say an enormous thank you to the Nepean Community College for being the venue for our final training sessions and the current home of the carts. NCC is a fantastic community college right next to the Penrith Community Library!
