The challenge

Transurban approached Spatial Media seeking a solution to celebrate their investment in the Public Art Program and to give back to the community with an interactive art education experience. The program includes eighteen signature artworks including contemporary sculpture, artist-designed playgrounds, large-scale murals, a writers walk and an immersive lighting installation.

Our solution

The client wanted to create a unique sub-brand identity for the arts program, to be able to run an art competition for school children. Furthermore, the solution needed to creatively visually communicate the artworks and the story behind them, with educational resources in an appealing engaging experience targeted at students and teachers.

Named ‘Canal to Creek’ after the waterways that connect the art sites, each work is a site-specific exploration of the relationship between people and place.
Spatial Media designed high-quality 3D modelling with animations and incorporated this into a completely immersive virtual island experience highlighting the artworks and building the site visitor's understanding of the artist, process behind it and picking up on a cultural thread of the eighteen artists that supports local identity and belonging. This virtual world experience space is mobile friendly, is available 24/7 for the community and has the flexibility to accommodate new information, installation updates.

Since 2020 the site has successfully hosted an annual art competition format attracting incredible artworks and engaging school children throughout Australia using Spatial Media’s SpatialEngage platform. Our tailored approach has enabled Transurban the functionality to conduct shortlisting and judging and promote the competition winners all in the one platform.

They look tremendous, the team have done amazing work!

Our booth was very popular - the imagery and corflute poster was so incredible to point at our ideas, even at a concept level. Well done to the Spatial Media team!

Innovative tools developed by the team set a new benchmark

Spatial Media Team played a pivotal role in delivering a range of multi-million-dollar public realm projects, including cycle paths, road and intersection upgrades, and active reserve improvements. Their ability to produce highly detailed and realistic renders, actively participate in workshops, and rapidly refine designs (even with minimal background information) was exceptional. The level of professionalism and attention to detail they provided to the council as the client was truly outstanding. I have already recommended their services to colleagues across the State and look forward to future collaborations. The innovative 3D products and interactive spatial consultation tools developed by the team set a new benchmark for community engagement and project delivery. I would strongly encourage integrating this approach into future projects to enhance clarity, mitigate risks, and build greater confidence among all stakeholders.
