Projection narrative installation, 2024
Selected Work
A 1,200m² immersive walk-through designed for the Australian War Memorial's centenary programme — weaving sound, light, and archival imagery into a narrative that moved over 60,000 visitors across its run.
A travelling light tunnel experience that toured seven Australian cities, transforming an abstract financial concept into a physical journey through possibility. Attendance exceeded projections by 340%.
A site-specific commission for Sydney's Carriageworks arts precinct exploring the threshold between memory and architecture. Projection-mapped across the original 19th-century brick walls, the work won the Australian Event Award for best cultural installation.
How we work
We're not a technology vendor. We're a creative studio that happens to have full technical capability — it's a meaningful difference.
Every project begins with story. We research, write, and direct the emotional narrative arc before a single technical decision is made. This is what makes Depthos experiences feel like art, not activations.
Spatial choreography, audience journey mapping, sensory layering, and design for accessibility. We design the full experience: what visitors see, hear, feel, and carry with them after they leave.
Full production delivery: projection mapping, LED arrays, spatial audio, interactive sensing, and custom software. We handle everything from scope and budget through to bump-in, operator training, and bump-out.
Our process
Brief deep-dive, site visits, stakeholder interviews, audience research
Narrative development, spatial storyboards, creative presentation
Technical design, content production, AV specification, budget lock
Production, bump-in, calibration, operator handover, post-production support
The technology should disappear. What remains is the feeling.

Common questions
We work with projects from $50,000 AUD. Our most common engagements fall between $120K–$350K AUD, covering full creative direction and technical production delivery.
Yes. We work across Australia — our projects have installed in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, and regional venues. We also have touring production experience for national activations.
Absolutely. We can operate as lead creative and concept studio, leaving technical delivery to a supplier you trust — or we can handle the full scope end-to-end. We're flexible by design.
For complex installations, 6–12 months ahead of your opening date is ideal. For simpler activations, 3 months can be achievable. Get in touch early — even for a project still being scoped.
