The Ars Electronica Garden Sydney showcases the experiments, prototypes, and conversations that emerged from the VR research and incubation program of the Tactical Space Lab in 2020.

The Tactical Space Lab is a research initiative focusing on the intersection of art and technology. We are committed to expanding the diversity of stories and voices represented through new technologies via collaborative projects and educational programs across all ages, with the aim of ‘demystifying’ VR, not just for artists, but for the wider community.

Fertile Methodologies

The Ars Electronica Garden Sydney hosts the output of nine, Australia-based artists who participated in the artist-led research program on experimental VR studios at the Tactical Space Lab; during which each artist was introduced to VR technologies, experiences, and digital creation workflows during a two-week ‘incubator’ style studio in skill-building, experimentation and collaborative art-making.

Through COVID-19 isolation, the Tactical Space Lab transitioned to remote work, with the artists co-presenting in VR spaces and through video-conferencing, screen-sharing, live-stream demos, 360-video and Mozilla Hubs.

Our Sydney Garden is an open showcase of not only the outcomes produced by our artists — 3D models, animations, embedded video and sounds— but the processes and conversations that led to them; a personal tour of our lab with all of our experiments and prototypes on show.
