About The Artist
Tomás Saraceno is an Argentina-born, Berlin-based artist whose projects dialogue with forms of life and life-forming, rethinking dominant threads of knowledge in the Capitalocene era and recognizing how diverse modes of being engage a multiplicity of vibrations on the Web of Life.
For more than two decades, Saraceno’s work with local communities, scientific researchers, and institutions around the world, aims to seek out a more equal balance of human, techno- and biodiversity, with the understanding that knowledge is produced from specific situations. He has held numerous residencies including MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (2012–), Atelier Calder (2010); published in Nature and PNAS; presented a TED talk; staged artistic interventions with COP20, COP21, and COP26; has lectured at Princeton, Columbia, Centre Pompidou, Herald Design Forum, Hirshhorn Museum, CCK, and Interspecies Internet among other locations.
THE LAND AROUND US
‘The Land Around Us’ by David Cianci stands tall in Townhead Park, Singleton—a 5.7-metre-high sculpture that celebrates the spirit of place and community. Inspired by the local landscape, this striking work is both a visual landmark and a tribute to the region’s natural heritage. Event Engineering provided engineering and certification services to bring the artist’s vision safely to life.
YIMALIKO MAKORO
‘Yimaliko Makoro’ by Raymond & Tyler Smith honours the cultural and ecological heritage of Cottage Creek with soaring cast aluminium fish sculptures. Engineered in collaboration with HCCDC.
EUCALYPT CANOPIES
‘Eucalypt Canopy’ by Balarinji transforms the M12 Motorway shared path into a journey through Country. Featuring oversized eucalyptus leaf structures, the installation blends cultural storytelling with striking design. Event Engineering provided engineering and certification for these sculptural waypoints, supporting a vision that honours Western Sydney’s six seasons and Aboriginal connection to land.
THE CUSHION HOUSE
The Cushion House brought HOKA’s Bondi 9 to life with a bold architectural takeover of North Bondi Surf Club. Wrapped in a sculptural form inspired by the shoe’s signature sole, the temporary installation was part brand experience, part public art. Event Engineering supported MNR Constructions with engineering and certification to ensure the structure was safe, durable, and as impactful as the concept demanded.
