A public installation artwork by a renown Melbourne art and technology studio is set to open in central Auckland.
The Lost Dogs’ Disco comprises 16 larger-than-life colourful, illuminated canine characters.
“From Poodles and Bull Terriers to Dachshunds, each dog comes to life with light and sound, their coats flickering with joy as they welcome you into the disco with playful grunts.” say promoters Auckland Live.
“It’s a celebration of connection, creativity, and the irresistible love that dogs bring to our lives.”
The work is the brainchild of multi-award-winning art and technology studio, ENESS, led by artist and founder Nimrod Weis.
The team explores the intersection between the virtual and the physical world in the creation of temporary and permanent interactive public art.
ENESS’ work questions how we view cities and their spaces and share ways in which technology and art bond us together and are described as ‘happiness architects’, inspiring deeper moments between friends, family and community.
Lost Dogs’ Disco was first staged at Hota – Home of Arts on Australia’s Gold Coast.
Alongside its captivating visuals, Lost Dogs’ Disco also boasts a custom-designed electronic soundscape, featuring an unforgettable chorus of barks, howls, growls, and other canine commotion.
“As you explore, you’ll be swept into a whimsical world where dogs rule the dance floor, and every bark is a beat you won’t want to miss.”
The Lost Dogs’ Disco will light up Aotea Square from April 4th-25th in Aotea Square and is a free event, with furry friends welcome on a leash.
