Getting There

After every storm, there’s a rainbow…

Sky Castle, a creative partnership between Fed Square and ENESS, has breezed into Fed Square to celebrate blue skies ahead. And due to popular demand it’s been extended.

Sky Castle is a dreamy, interactive sound and light installation, featuring a cluster of inflatable arches that span in colourful symphony across Fed Square.

As people  move through the arches, their movement powers and progresses the melodic xylophone soundscape and stimulates colour changes in each arch – evocative of the joy and hope that rainbows bring after every storm.

About ENESS

Founded in 1997, ENESS has been commissioned to produce and install artworks worldwide for signature commercial buildings; urban and cultural precincts; festivals, galleries and museums of modern art.

ENESS is more than a studio, it is a mindset. A belief in the power of providing art in everyday life that fires the imagination; that provides joy, happiness and beauty in unexpected places – transformational experiences that change lives. ENESS produce permanent sculpture; temporary art installations; interactive design outcomes; and artful play equipment.

ENESS has pioneered the art of 3D projection mapping and interactive real-time motion tracking, breaking new ground and creating firsts that have since become accepted design solutions. Their work has been exhibited worldwide in museums of modern art, to the streets of Mumbai.

ENESS is distinguished by a multidisciplinary team of creatives including artists, writers, musicians, software engineers, industrial designers and thinkers.
