In development since 2017, D.I.S.P.L.A.Y.E.D  is an immersive experience at the intersection of dance, fashion and art, transforming each venue into a unique gallery space. Towards the end of 2018, HLD embarked on an exciting partnership with Google's Creative Lab to enhance the installation with Audio Augmented Reality (AR). With the support of the Disability Forward Fund, the HLD app was created for increased accessibility. With the support of the MAP Fund, three Volumetric Videos (holograms) were created to compliment the exhibit.

The D.I.S.P.L.A.Y.E.D sculpture court provided a unique platform to experiment with Google’s Creative Lab audio AR kit. The kit allows you to place virtual sound spheres in a 3D space using a mobile phone. Once the sounds are placed, audience members can walk around the space wearing headphones to hear the sounds, all of which are binaural and respond to the person’s movement within the space.

D.I.S.P.L.A.Y.E.D was part of the Sounds In Space [SIS] series of experiments.

TELLING STORIES IN NEW WAYS

“For me, the projects are most successful when people say ‘Sorry you’re doing what? Why?” and I say that I think this will make more sense in a few years time.” – Tea Uglow

Since the first time someone told a story around a campfire a lot has changed about how we tell stories to one another. In this first episode of Lumina, Fenella Kernebone talks to two creatives rethinking the way we tell stories; Tea Uglow, Creative director at Google’s Creative Lab in Sydney and Mikaela Jade, CEO and founder of augmented reality company InDigital. Both think screens are just a stepping stone on the way to a world full of interactive stories we can barely conceive of yet.

PROFILE: The path to creativity is a zigzag

Tea Uglow is Creative Director at Google’s Creative Labs and works in Sydney. Google Translate once translated her role as ‘experimental person in charge at Google’ where she runs a small team at the intersection of digital technology, arts and culture working on innovative, global, creative and collaborative projects. In this episode of #PitchPodcast Pitch guest editor and cofounder of Utopia Nadya Powell interviews Tea. They talk about Tea’s childhood obsession with drawing and how interactivity formed a key part of her art as a student at Oxford’s Ruskin School. Tea discusses the importance of moving from being settled to being unsettled throughout your life and career; recounting a multifaceted career which includes her working in a bar, doing book art degree, learning how to code and freelancing at Google for a year and a half. We learn that following a wiggly path is sometimes the best thing to do, as when you do finally end up where you’re supposed to be you’re ready for it. Tea is a trans woman and talks about the project of inclusion and diversity, challenging cultures and the importance of allowing people to bring a perspective that is not in the room into the room.

A Universe Explodes, by Tea Uglow
Thanks to the ever-rising value of Bitcoin, the blockchain–a secure technology that enables transactions–is becoming common parlance. This experimental e-book from Tea Uglow, a creative director at Google Creative Lab Sydney, explains how it works in an artful format. The blockchain will likely define even more innovations in the future and mastering its underpinnings will be important.

Why aren’t we finding ways of building the information that we want into the way we want to experience the environment, rather than the way we’re told to experience the environment?

Tea Uglow is the Creative Director of Google’s Creative Lab in Sydney, although she prefers a Google (mis)Translate version of the title – Experimental Person in Charge.

Tea leads a team exploring “the spaces between contemporary digital technology and traditional forms of creativity and culture. That might be with museums, galleries, working with artists, filmmakers or writers and looking at what happens when those intersect.”
