Ancient Greek in vivid colour
Paint Phila was commissioned by the National Museum of Australia for their touring Ancient Greeks exhibition from the British Museum which was on the road in both Australia and New Zealand.
The digital interactive invited visitors to explore elements of the artwork which activated the marble to change colour and provide information about the object. If you held down on an area, the colours changed from pale to vivid hues – and were completely customisable.

Share your ancient art
One of the more technical challenges of Paint Phila, was figuring out how visitors could share their artwork creations online – especially as the piece did not have direct internet access, especially while part of the travelling exhibit.
Our team came up with a quick fix, encoding the colour metadata from the interactive into a URL within a QR code.
The QR code would display at the end of the visitor’s session, allowing it to be scanned with a device and opened in a browser to be saved and shared with friends and whānau.
