Watch lasers bounce off The Capitol's iconic ceiling, transforming the auditorium into a kinetic sculpture of light.

For 100 years, The Capitol has been a prismatic fantasy. Now, as part of RISING festival, in partnership with RMIT University, artist Shohei Fujimoto shows 'intangible #form' for the first time in Melbourne, morphing the iconic auditorium into a pulsing ocean of lasers.A light-spiked gateway to the edges of perception. Fujimoto is an artist who uses light to explore inner and outer truth. For RISING Fujimoto data-maps The Capitol and transforms it into large-format kinetic sculpture.

An explorable sea of red beams that syncopates with your synapses to our universal understanding of the space. Objects with no physical properties flicker and form before you. Floating prisms, spheres, and cubes enter the realm of the real. Everyone's experience will be different, but the audiovisual choreography stays constant. The light swallows you up.

This is a free event at RISING, proudly supported by RMIT University and Playking Foundation.
