Night Mural 2013: Urban Renewal in Light

illuminart transformed a Port Adelaide dockside building with ephemeral projected murals commissioned from ten Port Adelaide artists, showcasing the potential of rapid mural prototyping and the potential for future urban transformations.

The local artists participated in a concept development workshop and developed small scale concept artwork with the mentorship and artistic support of the illuminart team. Each artist was paid a fee for their concept, and their artworks were digitally enhanced and animated by illuminart animators, and a soundtrack added to complete each concept.

The show was presented as a “live studio event” on 17th August during SALA festival 2013, where each artist was given an opportunity to talk about their idea for a mural in the Port, prior to launching their design wrapping around the building to be seen by an appreciative audience.

Illuminart conducted audience surveys during the event to evaluate audience responses, which helped community to communicate their appetite and ideas for street art to the Port Adelaide Enfield council and Renewal SA, which contributed towards the eventual development of Wonderwalls which is an annual street art festival in the Port.

Night Mural 2013 was part of illuminart’s New Light Industrial project, supported by Arts SA, Port Adelaide Enfield Council, CAN SA and sponsored by Mosaic AV and illuminart.

Night Mural 2014 is a fresh new set of mural artworks to be created by young people of Port Adelaide Enfield. Find out more here!

One of the best things in 2013 for me was having my artwork projected onto buildings by the Illuminart team. Thanks!
