Collaboration with PROJECTIONTEKNIK. Commission of large-scale projection and audio installation for a fundraising event in the La Trobe Reading Room of the State Library of Victoria, 10th March 2016.

Multi-channel (quadro + LFE) audio designed to rotate around 4 speaker pairs installed in the balcony, plus 2 speaker pairs and 2 sub-woofers in the central podium.
