awakening—2020

Awakening, a participatory visual art collaboration by Mapped Design & Motez, which premiered at Adelaide Fringe 2020 as part of RCC’s NEON program.

Awakening was a unique learning curve in experimenting with the experience of being placed in the surrounds of a narrative told through an immersive lighting installation and an original soundscape composed by Motez. It explored how the space, in this case, RCC venue NEON awakens each night, and what it means to have an awakening, an idea, a realisation.

Using 4 point surround sound, moving lights, lasers and atmospheric effects the audience was placed inside the action, Awakening sought to highlight the structure and environment built around it. Awakening sought to inspire and shed light on the ideas that wake us in the middle of the night.
