Opening in June 2021, the Science Gallery Melbourne is a new Australian gallery described as a place where science and art collide.
Visitors to the precinct will be greeted to a record-breaking architectural media display: The Digital Bricks - an ever-changing canvas for digital data and interactive media.
It is said that this architectural media display will allow the walls to talk for decades to come by sharing stories of scientific innovation, First Peoples knowledge, and art programs by way of a high-tech, highly integrated and carefully curated architectural media façade.
Wergaia Woman Susie Anderson, a creator of the digital birthing tree story, explains that the concept was inspired by different circumstances and the history surrounding the location of the new art precinct.
The museum seats on the very place that was home to the former Royal Women's Hospital. Hence together with her team, Susie Anderson re-imagined how the site would have looked like before contact.
Also, as the location is the birthplace for so many people, they questioned whether it had been the site of an actual birthing tree and if so, what it would have looked like.
