Independent Contractor • Dance + Systems + Design
I'm an Independent contractor specializing in motion-based installations for cultural organizations, festivals, and commercial brands.
Turning physical motion into living visuals that connect art, technology, and emotion.
TRUSTED BY LEADING INSTITUTIONS
From festivals to R&D labs—I work across four distinct domains, each requiring specialized expertise in AV content design.
Large-scale cultural experiences for diverse audiences
Creating immersive installations for festivals, public spaces, and cultural organizations that need to engage thousands of people with varying cultural backgrounds and accessibility needs.
RECENT WORK:
Theatrical design + dance visualization
Designing AV content and interactive systems for theatrical productions, dance performances, and gallery exhibitions where the challenge is making artistic vision accessible while preserving creative integrity.
Core capabilities:
RECENT WORK: Acts of Holding Dance (international tour), AGNSW Installation (year-long 2025-2026)
Corporate experiences + commercial campaigns
Designing immersive brand experiences and corporate event installations where the goal is authentic audience connection rather than just visual spectacle. Working as embedded contractor or project-based.
Core capabilities:
RECENT WORK: Arcitecta Supercomputing (SC23/SC24/SC25), Adidas James Harden Vol 6 Launch (2022)
Proof-of-concept + innovation consulting
Developing proof-of-concept prototypes and research-through-design methodologies for organizations exploring movement analysis, embodied knowledge systems, or creative technology applications.
Core capabilities:
ONGOING WORK: Make Dance Comprehensible framework, AI Movement Analysis Prototypes
Selected projects demonstrating research-backed design across four domains
State Library Victoria LiDAR Installation
A site-specific dance visualization installation overlaying motion-captured dancers within a LiDAR-scanned point cloud environment of the State Library Victoria's La Trobe Reading Room. Five dancers executing unique sine wave patterns in synchronized time became a perfect metaphor for distributed processors working toward the same goal through different algorithmic paths.
Multi-venue International Exhibition
An evolving research project exploring the relationship between dance and time through digital visualization. Originally designed for outdoor projection, the work captures dance and inscribes the history of dancers' movements as persistent visual traces, creating temporal maps of dance in space. Presented internationally across Boston, Cincinnati, Wroclaw, and Sydney.
Year-Long Interactive Exhibition
A year-long installation at one of Australia's most prestigious cultural institutions. The work translates breaking dance movements into comprehensible visual language through real-time motion tracking and generative visualization systems, making complex hip-hop choreography accessible to gallery visitors from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Enterprise Software Brand Visualization
Three consecutive years (SC23, SC24, SC25) of immersive AV installations for the world's largest supercomputing conference. Designed projection mapping, 3D generative visuals, and dance-based data visualization content that translated complex metadata management systems into engaging visual experiences for technical audiences of 13,000+ attendees.

"Wendy delivered exactly what we needed—technically flawless, visually stunning, and perfectly calibrated to the space. Her systematic approach meant we never worried about the technical execution."
"The installation had visitors staying 3x longer than typical exhibitions. Her systematic approach meant we hit every deadline while exceeding our artistic vision."
"Working with Wendy felt like gaining a creative partner who understood both technical constraints and artistic ambitions."
"Her research-backed approach to making complex movement comprehensible transformed how our audience engaged with the work."
