Communities in Sydney and Melbourne will interact with one another. Cities Tango: Sydney, Melbourne links the Powerhouse Museum with Federation Square. In each city the work will collect images from the screen location and react to them. The analysed information will also influence the work's behaviour in the other city. Changing colour stripes will be interleaved with segments of images of the remote location at different times of the day and mixed with real time snapshots of people at the remote site. 

Ernest Edmonds is an artist researcher and Director of the Creativity and Cognition Studios.

Cities Tango was made in collaboration with Shigeki Amitani.
