Hyde Park Barracks Museum

The Hyde Park Barracks is a UNESCO World Heritage site that served as the administrative hub for Britain's transportation system and stood at the heart of a sprawling network of convict sites. Its role as an agent of colonial change and its impact on Aboriginal Australia are still felt today.

The Hyde Park Barracks Museum partnered with Local Projects to re-launch with a new audio-based experience. I was responsible for two large scale, projected panorama that interacted with bespoke tracking software.

Convicts’ Colony

A projected panorama recreates the Sydney of 1815, where convicts made landfall after their journey. Here, a visitor's location is tracked and activates animated vignettes within the historical image, including depictions of convicts at work or at leisure, Aboriginal presence and trade, and other scenes across town.

1848

A projected panorama shows the transformation of Sydney in the 1800s using bespoke animations. Here, a visitor's location is tracked and activates watercolor and generative animations.
