The project develops new models of public art that combine natural and manufactured energy in ways that promote a culture of awareness about pressing environmental issues. The research highlights the need for an environmentally sustainable Australia and effective management of the nation's biodiversity by embodying these concerns in novel aesthetic systems that test clean energy production and its efficient storage. The latter have implications beyond the project for light industry, telecomunications and public utilities. Utilizing a range of adaptive technologies and natural elements in experimental ways, the project offers creative responses to critical questions of sustainability capable of being profiled internationally.Read moreRead less
