TRANSMISSIONS (Apex Park)

TRANSMISSIONS (Apex Park) is an audio-based public artwork for Arakwal Country | Apex Park, Byron Bay. Drawing attention to how our shared civic spaces are designed, navigated and governed, TRANSMISSIONS (Apex Park) speculates on the collective experience of this place.

Developed with community through a site-specific LAB, this work collaboratively reimagines the socio-cultural systems that shape how we experience public space. Through gentle audio disruption, TRANSMISSIONS (Apex Park) is an intervention of everyday spatial governance, inviting new considerations of what ideas and systems we subconsciously participate in.

LAB participants: Holly Ahern, Merinda Davies, Skye Jamieson, Adrienne Kenafake and Julie McLaren.
