2020 The Space Maze
During the COVID-19 lockdown period we were in conversation with Auckland Live as to how they could put their new digital screen to use post-lockdown to help connect people within the city as as well as across the country and potential internationally. After the lockdown was lifted we responded to an Auckland Live RFP for […]
2017 Wondergarden Festival
We were invited to host the family-friendly area of the 2017 Wondergarden music festival down in the Wynyard Quarter. Teaming up with Captain Fetus McBoyle and his crew, we got crafty with the kids making and decorating their own wearable pirate ships and running a secret game for families to engage in a balloon-sword pirate […]
Manu Tukutuku
We were commissioned to help create a wall mural for the Manu Tukutuku Community Centre in Randwick Park. Using the design of their kite logo, we crafted a set of wooden pieces which then got painted by a group of local children at a festival event. By helping draw out the creativity of the local […]
The Cigarette Butts
We were commissioned by Auckland Council to develop, install and measure the effects of four different creative approaches to promote correct cigarette littering (i.e. not putting cigarette butts on the ground) in the Auckland CBD. The intent of the project was to experiment and test the different approaches in order to reveal key learning that […]
House of Eternal Return, Santa Fe
We are empassioned and inspired by immersive, experiential experiences and endeavour (we also like alliteration) to embed interactivity into the work we do, in whatever form it takes. The House of Eternal Return installation, created by the Meow Wolf Collective in Santa Fe looks to be right up our alley. We would love to involved […]
2017 Laneway Festival
The 2017 Laneway Festival was the first (and hopefully not the last!) to be in Albert Park in the heart of Auckland City. A fantastic venue spread across multiple stages and plenty of room to spread out. For the last few years we had taken over Silo 6 in the Wynyard Quarter, creating a playspace […]
2016 Auckland Art Week – Changing Lanes
Our proposal for Auckland Council’s ‘Changing Lanes’ fund for Artweek was to install a chalk tapestry along the length of Durham Lane. Working in partnership with local artist Selwyn Vercoe, we designed multilayered chalk stencils inspired by various cultural patterns from around the world. Installed in shifts over the course of Artweek, we were able […]
2016 Laneway
For the past two years we have been involved with Auckland’s Laneway Festival. This year – our third – was our biggest and brightest and most fun! Again we had full creative control over Silo6 and we wanted to turn it into a fun, creative and playful essential pitstop for everyone attending the festival. Wanting […]
Workshops on the Wharf
Over the school holidays we jumped on the opportunity to get out into the sun and run some games down at the Wynyard Waterfront as part of the ‘Workshops on the Wharf’ series of activations hosted by Panuku Development Auckland. Busy but fun days facilitating creative chalk stenciling, giant cake games and racing around our […]
The Art Hunters
Art Hunters Online is a great example of using games and play as an engagement tool – in this case to encourage interaction with the Springfield Art Museum. By incorporating an online medium they were able to reach out and involve a diverse range of ‘viewers’ and participants.
