International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney) – managed by ASM
Global – has launched an immersive audio-visual projection service
exclusive to its iconic Darling Harbour Theatre.
Event organisers will now be able to tap into ICC Sydney’s developed
immersive content or collaborate with the in-house Audio Visual Services
team to develop customised content for projection.
Connecting event attendees to the rich culture of First Nations
Peoples, ICC Sydney’s captivating digital animation and projection of
Boomalli Aboriginal Artist Jeffrey Samuels’ “Gadigal, Acknowledgement
Respect” artwork set to an accompanying audio track of “Barani” the
whale gracefully swimming through the silvery waters of Gomora (Cockle
Bay) was previewed at the venue’s recent RESPECT: An ICC Sydney Experience.
ICC Sydney CEO and group director – convention centres, ASM Global
(APAC), Geoff Donaghy said his team stood alongside its Legacy Program
partners Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Cooperative, and hoped that this
service demonstrated another way in which the venue team was committed
to Reconciliation – a process focused on the improvement of relations
between the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia
and the rest of the population.
“While this new immersive projection experience has the power to
deepen delegates’ connection to the culture and stories of First Nations
traditional custodians, the service also meets growing delegate
expectations for socially impactful and connected events that are
seamlessly integrated with technology as highlighted in our RESPECT:
Shaping Events for Success report.” He said.
ICC Sydney’s suite of immersive projection services includes
projection mapping of customised content to the theatre’s remarkable
diamond acoustic wall panels, creating a 50m-wide canvas to deliver up
to 500sqm of dynamic content.
