Obscura Digital unveiled one of its most creative innovations to date, when it fused live experiential technology with a masterpiece of modernist architecture, transforming the dynamic Sydney Opera House structure into a visual augmentation of a live symphonic performance.
Over ten years of Obscura Digital’s technology innovations culminated in this two-hour show, in which they amplified the artistry of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra Grand Finale event with real-time audio-reactive graphic projections that simultaneously canvassed the interior and exterior of the iconic building with parallel projection shows.
