Messages of Hope Messages of Love is an outdoor lighting installation that broadcasts Morse code messages upwards into the sky, in Sydney CBD from the roof of the Art Gallery of NSW.

For three nights, the installation broadcasted messages of hope and love that people left on our website. This installation is aimed to re-establishing communication, healing solitude provide hope and connection in these unprecedented times of uncertainty and unknown.

This is dedicated to the entertainment industry, to any business or person going through hardship,… this is our message of hope, message of love.

Messages of Hope Messages of Love Data Visualization

For this project I have created the Morse code data visualization.

Every two minutes our installation was set to broadcast a new Morse code message, represented in this data visualization by a full circle. The portion of time left after the Morse code message was the time window we had to play our moving lighting custom animations.

The data visualization was generated in real time each night during the event.
