An exploration of changing bedchamber traditions and communal sleeping, Dormitorium also sought to understand the immersive effects of moving light and sound technologies on the ways we rest and rejuvenate.
An exploration of changing bedchamber traditions and communal sleeping, Dormitorium also sought to understand the immersive effects of moving light and sound technologies on the ways we rest and rejuvenate.
Dormitorium was a solo exhibition at McClelland Gallery + Sculpture Park, following a design-research collaboration with Respiratory & Sleep Disorders physician Dr Marcus McMahon (Austin Health), Professor Shantha Rajaratnam and Professor Sean Drummond from Monash University’s Sleep Program (Monash Institute of Cognitive and Clinical Neurosciences).
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body. This project is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
