Chalk River Labs is an award-winning, Australian-based creative studio founded by Jay Tettamanti, a multidisciplinary artist who creates experiential installations through the combination of projection, audio, and sculpture. Chalk River Labs draws inspiration from nature's symmetry and complex geometry, overlaying them in a moving collage that transforms simple structures into mesmerizing immersive experiences.
Stargate is an immersive projection sculpture. Featuring a 12-ft square encompassing a circular ring, this installation was designed as a portal to guide viewers on an awe-inspiring journey through the cosmos. Viewers are encouraged to climb into the central ring, serving as both a meditative space and a source of breathtaking photo opportunities, creating interactions and shared experiences among spectators. Hypnotic visuals seamlessly meld with an original contemplative soundtrack, creating an otherworldly portal where the audience is transported to the realm of the stars while standing firmly on Earth’s soil.
