The ‘Shadow Dancer’ sculpture bridges the gap between the digital and the real world. Its anamorphic shape is created by inverting the sculpture’s digital data and meticulously fabricating it, using a combination of prototyping equipment and manual labour.

Louis Pratt
I'm a contemporary artist with expertise in sculpture, video, and painting, who predominantly addresses big data and climate change. I'm an accomplished contemporary artist in Australia, who pioneered the use of new technologies for sculpture production. I received a first-class honours degree in sculpture from the Australian National University's School of Art in 2000 and completed an Australian Postgraduate Research Scholarship from the College of Fine Art, University of NSW in 2004. I'm pursuing a PhD in Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Technology in Sydney and recently published an innovative research paper in M.I.T's journal, Leonardo.
I was born in 1972 in Malaysia. Today, I live and work in Sydney. My studio is in an old industrial building with other artists in Marrickville.
