LumenMotion explorations

Newcastle LunaProject - Civic Park, 2019

5/9/2019

Fresh off the back of winning the 2018 UrbanIOTHack at Eighteen04, a Newcastle-based collaboration team comprised of NewieVentures and SmartPlayHQ worked with City of Newcastle to bring together their #LunaProject - a soft, interactive illumination project for urban space activation - to run during 2019 Hunter Innovation Festival.

Using a custom built acrylic interaction board and paper origami Lillies to trigger different hues and light saturations through IoT-based sensors, the space in Civic park is drawing in families and park-lovers experiencing the space in a whole new light.

We popped up from CentralCoast to take it all in and experiment with some light painting playtime with the activation team, using some ruggedised portable LEDs to layer in some extra layers over the top of their illuminated landscape to capture the moment.

Capture the Spirit - LumenMotion Photographers prizes

Our #joyfish - a collaboration between Laughing Mind, Quiet Rush and GroupD Creative, powered by boxed sunshine + Goal Zero gear.
As part of LumenMotion, we're running Photographers awards to recognise the best entry in the following categories, based on images posted online to Twitter, Facebook or Instagram and tagged with #lumenmotion15 

​Images must be based on a verifiable RAW image file source, not retouched. Whilst sharing on the night would be lovely, we know that it can take a little time back in the studio to get an export, web ready image done. Prize-winners will be announced 9pm 13Nov via our Twitter and Facebook pages.

We'll be judging based on a crowdsourced poll of registered participants and judges discretion, so clearly popular posts judged on social media will be bubbling to the top of the list but other factors will also be taken into account. No vote buying please folks. :-) Creative points accumulate if you can integrate local landmarks, places + spaces in a novel reinterpretation of them as part of the event.
Prize 1 - Lumen Motion: For capturing the best motion capture image of the night. Prize = Goal Zero Venture 30 Recharger Kit, valued at $269 The Venture30 represents latest portable solar charging product technology from Goal Zero, used and recommended by a range of outdoor adventurers and photographers.
Prize 2 - Festival Spirit: For capturing the festive spirit of the event on the night, you can win a versatile Goal Zero Torch 250 LED flashlight, valued at $119. Perfect as a companion light + emergency power source for those tricky photo setups when you need a bit more light at hand, or a quick top up charge for your batteries or phone using the inbuilt USB port.
