Night Parrots, Chalk River Labs
Night Parrots, Chalk River Labs
Night Parrots by Chalk River Labs is an award-winning projection sculpture of a parrot sheltering a fellow parrot with its wing. The two-metre tall, fibreglass sculpture comes to life through a vibrant kaleidoscopic animation of projection mapped, hypnotic colour. Inspired by the ground-dwelling, nocturnal Australian species once believed extinct, Night Parrots celebrates the resilience of nature.

Thoughts on destiny is a trilogy of choreographic duets, designed in response to three significant works in the Knox Public Art Collection. Contemporary dancers, Carmen Yih, Harshil Vora and choreographer Jonathan Homsey invite viewers to gather in the round as they use street, contemporary, and waacking dance styles to create uncanny synchronicities.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting magic of Water and Light, a family-friendly light show celebrating the local environment and the evolution of the Dandenong Ranges. Appreciate the beauty of Ferntree Gully Quarry and see a 100 metre-wide plus projection illuminating the quarry cliff. Created by Little Projector Company, Water and Light features spectacular projection mapping, a cinematic soundscape and colourful works by local artists. This is an event not to be missed!
Yomeci Fields activation
Yomeci Fields is a sound-based interactive artwork where colourful chalk drawings reimagine everyday footpaths into playable spaces. A chalk track will be drawn onto a footpath, similar to a hopscotch course, where passersby can interact with the track. As players interact with the drawings, audio compositions and tunes are activated ‘following’ people’s movement.
