Experimenta Media Arts is Australia’s leading contemporary arts organisation dedicated to commissioning, exhibiting and touring contemporary art driven by ideas and shaped by technology.  Experimenta Playground was Experimenta Media Arts’ digital media playground of interactive artworks, video installations, short films and extreme art on screen by over 30 Australian and international artists. Through the language of play, the artists asked the gallery visitors to stop and think about complex issues and profound experiences in enjoyable, often surprising and unforgettable ways.

In 2008, the Nelson Meers Foundation supported Experimenta Playground’s first landmark exhibition in Sydney. The exhibition showcased innovative media art forms, providing a viewing context that is fun, accessible and allows audiences to engage with the artwork on a physical and emotional level.

We were excited to support Experimenta in removing traditional boundaries between art, creativity and technology, creating innovative pathways for collaboration, audience engagement and artist development.
