Connect the Dots
RMIT Creative Student Life is thrilled to present Connect the Dots, a new participatory public artwork co-created with students and led by artist Sophie Stavrakisas. Bright yellow dots now splash across the buildings of RMIT’s City North Precinct, supported by the City North Activation Challenge 2025.
Inspired by Gordon Matta-Clark and Sophie’s own experience as an RMIT student, the work uncovers hidden stories within these spaces. Follow the dots, wander off your usual paths, and discover new perspectives on the precinct.
Discover the precinct on your own terms. Every step is part of your journey.
Legacy – Co-Design Melbourne’s Innovation Future
Step inside Melbourne’s Innovation Precinct and become a co-designer of the city’s future. This hands-on, interactive activity invites you to engage with Aurecon’s evolving Lego model, a miniature representation of the precinct that grows and changes with your ideas.
Participants will have the opportunity to add their own designs, structures, and concepts, working alongside others to explore what a vibrant, innovative, and sustainable urban environment could look like. Through this activity, you’ll consider how collaboration, creativity, and innovation intersect to solve real-world challenges – like creating inclusive spaces, fostering industry connections, and building environmentally responsible infrastructure.
Whether you’re a student, industry professional, or simply curious about city design, your contribution matters. Together, we’ll imagine, design, and build a future Melbourne where people, industry, and community thrive, turning creativity into a legacy that inspires real-world change.
Regen Melbourne Activity: The O-racle
What will Melbourne’s CBD North look like in 2050? The O-racle invites you to explore this question through the lens of Doughnut Economics, imagining a future that balances human needs with the health of our planet.
Using a deck of dimensions from the Doughnut framework, participants will draw inspiration to envision a city that is regenerative, equitable, and safe for both people and planet. The O-racle acts as a guide, encouraging you to articulate visions that push the boundaries of imagination, creativity, and sustainability.
This is an interactive, participatory experience where your ideas help co-create possible futures for Melbourne. You’ll engage with concepts like urban regeneration, social innovation, and environmental stewardship, all while considering the ways people and communities can thrive together.
Brought to you by Regen Melbourne and RMIT University, The O-racle is more than an activity – it’s a space to experiment, reflect, and imagine bold, inclusive futures that could shape the city for generations to comeT
