Repast is a sensory interactive experience that explores the interconnectedness of nature and memory, inviting audiences to question their perceptual evaluation of the world.

A meditation on ecologies; a cinematic film shot in South Australia juxtaposes the natural world with a mirrored digital environment celebrating the unique flora & fauna of South Australia. Rendered using advanced 3D scanning and drone photogrammetry, the digital world continuously morphs the landscape's data points, highlighting the fragility and subjectivity of the viewer’s recollection of the past. Motion sensors allow the audience to interact directly with the artwork, further altering and reassembling the landscape, creating a sense of immersion and connection with the ever-changing environment.

Bespoke scent of the Australian landscape fills the space with field sounds captured in surround sound blended with a multichannel electronic + acoustic music score recorded by Australian classical musicians.

Developed in part through a Ukaria Cultural Centre residency, Repast premiered at Adelaide's centre of Immersive Light and Art (ILA), during Illuminate ADL in July 2023, in partnership with Aurora Restaurant. Helmed by Head Chef Sam Cooper, Aurora curated a culinary installation capturing the visual representation of the immersive work and rounding out the multisensory experience.
