Join Experimenta as we explore how new technologies can offer multi-sensory modes of experiencing screen based works. Our showcase Art, Access and Technology will feature at ACMI’s FACT 2026 Symposium, 11-12 February, where the future of arts, culture and technology are debated and shaped. Link in Bio!
In this project we have been privileged to work with Ina Conradi and Mark Chavez, and develop a sensory score for haptic sensory vests to offer a multi-sensory audience experience of their animation film and audio composition (from Tate Chavez), Moirai: Thread of Life, a work that features in the Experimenta Emergence 2025-2027 national touring exhibition. This research and development phase has expanded thinking on the development and presentation of audio-visual screen works, and allows for new ways to present and engage with media art in exhibition and event contexts for broad audiences of all abilities.
This project is part of the 2026 Experimenta 40 Program, celebrating Experimenta’s 40th year championing experimental work, and has come to fruition through the creativity and dedication of the Experimenta team, ACMI team, Ina and Mark, Tate and the team at The Newmarket Collective.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
This event is part of @acmionline ACMI’s FACT 2026 Symposium, and presented in partnership with ACMI and The Newmarket Collective.
