Temple Of Joy
A colourful ode to Sydney’s dancefloors, inside Vivid House.
Artist Elliott Routledge, aka Funskull, approached us to bring his artwork even more to life for Vivid Sydney. Temple Of Joy was one of three works in Vivid House at Darling Harbour, a 360° LED space billed as the most immersive installation the festival had staged.
The 15-minute looping piece is a homage to Sydney’s dance party scene: a shrine to the dancefloors shut down over the previous few years, and a hopeful toast to their return.
We worked closely with Elliott, his brother and art director Marty, and his brother and composer Nick, aka Nicky Nighttime, to create a fully immersive experience, finished with a final audio polish and 3D mix from the one and only Sameer Sengupta.
So many legends in one room. Thank you, everyone, it was a great ride.
