Nixi Killick: Cryptic Frequency

About the artwork

To celebrate Melbourne Fashion Week and Melbourne Music Week, Metro Tunnel Creative Program commissioned fashion designer Nixi Killick to create an interactive artwork at our Town Hall Station construction site hoardings.

Using augmented reality technology via the Eyejack mobile phone app, Cryptic Frequency springs to life in stunning colour and motion before your eyes.

For the full experience, listen to Nixi's Spotify playlist featuring some of her favourite Melbourne Music Week artists.

Artist statement

“Cryptic Frequency facilitates an interactive intimacy with technology, articulating creatively engaging social experiences to change the ways we experience colour and clothing. Deciphering the concept of morphic resonance and utilising garments as wearable tools to carry our character, allow us to project our personality and connect communities!”
