Kuri Kurru (Turning Circle)

MOD. Museum of Discovery

  • 2D Animation
  • Interactive & Experience Design

Monkeystack was commissioned by the University of South Australia Museum of Discovery (MOD.) to bring to life an interactive exhibit conceptualised and scripted by Karl ‘Winda’ Telfer, a Kaurna cultural bearer, artist and community leader.

The exhibit at the entrance to MOD. is presented on the Street Gallery Touch Screens – a  video wall of ten 55” HD touchscreens mounted side-by-side in portrait orientation to provide a seamless 10800×1920 pixel Windows desktop. The screens offer 32 simultaneous points of touch across the entire surface so multiple people can play, discover and learn at the same time. It’s a truly stunning canvas to take users on a journey in preparation for each Kaurna season. Awarded WINNER of Permanent Exhibition or Gallery Fitout at the Australian Museums and Galleries Association's (AMaGA) Museums Australasia Multimedia and Publication Design Awards 2022.

"An innovative, accessible and powerful multimedia interactive. Kuri Kurru (Turning Circle) is a beautiful and evocative installation which beautifully connects visitors with Indigenous Knowledge via engaging and immersive technology... Overall this seems to be a powerful and foundational aspect of the MOD offer and visitor experience. The exhibition design and installation articulates access, particularly for disabled visitors, thoroughly and thoughtfully."
