Vivid Sydney 2019

Robot SPACELand

Robot Spaceland was a large-scale immersive installation and narrative-driven light show created for Vivid Sydney.

I conceived, directed, and delivered the entire experience—combining sculpture, robotics, lighting, projection, and sound into a cohesive nine-minute space opera.

The project featured a 20-metre robot, over one kilometre of addressable LED, and a fully timecoded show system—executed across 21 nights for an audience of over two million people.

Closing

Robot Spaceland demonstrates my ability to originate and deliver large-scale immersive experiences that combine narrative, technology, and physical spectacle.

Performed across 21 nights as part of Vivid Sydney, the project reached an audience of over two million people—proving both creative impact and delivery at scale.

This is where I operate: at the intersection of story, engineering, and live experience.
