Invisible Light Garden is an interactive art installation by Melbourne creative studio Mosster Studio in collaboration with the children of Artplay. The final work is now being exhibited in Artplay‘s gallery space from Saturday 1 February to Friday 6 March 2020, and then for drop-in, but timed sessions, of the long weekend during the Moomba Festival.
I guarantee that you and the kids will be wowed by the interaction between digital imagery and physical action.
In previous workshops, Lady AB and I work with the artists to help ‘make’ a garden using cardboard boxes fixed with stickers that are ‘read’ by the camera to produce different images.
As the kids and boxes move the garden changes using light projections and sounds. It’s a variation of the pARk experience also by Mosster Studio which was previously installed at Eastland Shopping Centre.

Children can explore the dark space using the cardboard boxes to create and interact with the garden.
Something about being in the dark seems to light kids’ imaginations!
The exhibition describes it as being most suitable for 3-12 years but it’s ok for all ages as long as the child is comfortable with the dark and instructed to be gentle with the boxes and with other people.
Enjoy Invisible Light Garden on your next visit to an Artplay workshop and during Moomba Festival!
