During his time with us, Robert continued to develop a new participative public artwork with AR and performance called ‘The Child of Now’ with Art Centre Melbourne for City of Melbourne. After concluding his 6-week residency with a moving talk and workshop, Robert is back in Melbourne and taking the project to the next level.
