This project, proven in multiple locations, brings conservation, science and culture together through visual arts in a new approach to tourism through public sculptures. It promotes local ecosystems, geology, local conservation efforts and local First Nations artists. Whilst also acting as a connecting point along a tourism trail of sculptures, each sculpture is a stand alone piece which shares its own stories.

Genestreaming Sculpture Options & Costings

We offer 4 Genestreaming Sculpture options. Each can be individually undertaken or optionally each step may be the foundations for the next step.

1. Genestreaming Art of Knowledge Augmented Reality Sculptures
2. Genestreaming Art of Nature Augmented Reality Sculptures
3. Genestreaming Journey Augmented Reality Sculptures
4. Genestreaming Journey Physical Sculptures

Read below for further information on each of the four options.

Genestreaming Art of Knowledge Augmented Reality Sculptures

AU$5,000 – 2024 estimation

This initial research project is managed by the Art of Nature team who undertake a week of consultancy work with the team and staff members of your organization. The visual material that you provide will be used to populate the internal and external appearance of the sculpture providing the public with a unique way of learning about your values, purpose and achievements. This research may be used as foundation material for any further Genestreaming Sculpture projects which may occur later. This form of AR sculpture will anchor the object to the users phone when in range of the allocated GPS co-ordinates. To support any ongoing technical maintenance we will seek regional sponsors.

Genestreaming Art of Nature Augmented Reality Sculptures

AU$5,000 – 2024 estimation

Art of Nature Sculptures provide a space for artists and photographers to exhibit their work based on a specific conservation theme. The Art of Nature School has developed a short course for nature enthusiasts which introduces them to the foundations of nature journaling that are suitable for use in the sculptures. This form of AR sculpture will anchor the object to the users phone when in range of the allocated GPS co-ordinates. To support any ongoing technical maintenance we will seek regional sponsors. https://artofnatureschool.thinkific.com/courses/explore-nature-journaling

Genestreaming Journey Sculptures

This project may be developed in two stages. Stage one is an Augmented Reality Sculpture and the optional stage two is a Physical Sculpture.

Genestreaming Journey Augmented Reality Sculptures (Stage 1)

This project covers development of the art, research, webpage and Augmented Reality Genestreaming Sculpture = AU$40,000 – 2024 estimation

There are 15 panels of artworks. External Art is created by First Nations artists of the region. Internal art is created by the Art of Nature team in consultation with local conservationists. A phylogenetic tree of selected species is featured on the base of the sculpture.

Our team provide an image file of all the external and internal art in the sculpture to the client as one digital artwork which the client may print out for display in their visitors center or other public spaces in order to promote the Augmented Reality sculpture. To support any ongoing technical maintenance we will seek regional sponsors.

Genestreaming Journey Physical Sculptures (Stage 2)

Approximate construction price of a physical Sculpture = AU$80,000 – 2024 estimation

Note: The creation of the art and research is already completed and paid for in Stage 1.

In other projects we were able to secure sponsorship for the materials which reduced the costs associated with creating a physical sculpture. We recommend and can assist in seeking in-kind support at this stage from steel manufactures and galvanizers which significantly lowers the cost of creating a physical sculpture.

Creation of a Physical Sculpture includes digital printing of art for sculpture on aluminum sheeting with anti-graffiti coating.

Sculpture construction materials: steel, stainless steel & laser etching, galvanizing, sculpture delivery, sculpture installation, information sign.
