Project Outline:
Working closely with the City of Melbourne, Chas Clarkson developed two large, impactful statement pieces that allowed people of all ages and abilities to interact. Both decorations immersed visitors’ senses and promoted interaction and social sharing during their visit to the City of Melbourne's Christmas Festival. The 4 metre LED "Otaki" Bauble rings in Federation Square provided a versatile display that can be rearranged to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the City, year on year. The giant 3D Present with its iconic gold bow has become a landmark along the Southbank during the Christmas Festival. It has evolved from the original static selfie moment, to incorporating 36 vibrant LED touch light panels in the floor for the ultimate interactive experience.
