Immersive learning experiences
Introduced Species 360
Sydney Symphony Orchestra and The Arts Unit
Inspired by artist Matthew Quick’s body of work, ‘Introduced Species’ is a three-movement aural depiction of the Trash Vortex, one of the Pacific Ocean’s garbage patches.
This resource links music, visual arts and environmental science into an immersive learning experience, incorporating multiple 360 video in a virtual tour of the orchestra during a performance with embedded video interviews of musicians, the conductor and the composer for a deeper understanding of their roles in the orchestra and of the composition.
Your Public Art Project
Kaldor Public Art Projects, Stem.T4L and The Arts Unit
Students from public schools across NSW have worked collaboratively to investigate their environment and develop an innovative, site-specific artwork.
The schools’ works have been documented using innovative technology that reimagine these works for display at the Art Gallery of NSW. Site specific works come alive through 360 Virtual Reality film and 3D photogrammetry models that transport the viewer back to the specific location.
