Peterson says connect is “Really Special”, which took two years to create and features a score by Aboriginal musicians including Yothu Yindi, Baker Boy and Archie Roach.
“It’s so colorful and vibrant, great storytelling and movement,” he said. “What’s really unique is that this is the first time all these artists have come together and agreed to be a part of something.”
Co-curated by the National Museum of Australia, the experience will utilize The Lume’s 143 high-definition projectors to display artworks across 3000sqm of gallery space at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Center in South Wharf.

“We think this is a really important Australian experience for all Australians, especially at this moment,” Peterson said. “It’s something that all Australians can be proud of and focus on our Art and culture, it’s really top notch, on par with Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet. It’s very emotional and I think when people walk in and see this is ours, they go Overwhelmed.”

Both traditional art galleries and immersive experiences like The Lume can play a role, Peterson said.
“Nothing will replace the original, don’t get me wrong,” he said. “We’re finding more and more art connoisseurs who really understand our approach.
