Ta-ku’s Songs To Experience is a multi-sensory exhibition that reimagines the traditional album launch as a spatial journey. Tasked with translating the sonic landscapes of Ta-ku’s debut album, Songs To Come Home To, into a narrative environment, Fustic. collaborated to connect digital abstraction with human emotion. Located within the 1937 Art Deco Lawson Apartments for the Perth Festival, this seven-room installation transforms a heritage site into a series of creative spaces where each room is designed around a specific musical composition.
Fustic. directed and designed a large-scale visual installation for the track ‘Falling’ that focuses on the nature of real-time interactive art. Utilizing Unreal Engine and MetaHumans, we employed facial motion capture technology to translate the emotionality of the chorus into a digital presence. This technical approach creates a visceral experience where the viewer encounters the sensation of losing a part of someone within the realm of memory. The result is a new media art installation where the audience physically occupies the emotional architecture of the music.
Through Generative Art, the project creates a narrative environment where technology reveals something timeless. Visitors leave with a heightened sense of presence, having been woven into an unfolding story. When innovation and art converge, they create a continuum where memory and experimentation coexist.
