Step into a world of heightened senses in this exclusive interview with David Moraton, the artist and composer behind the spellbinding artwork Laniakea at Vivid Sydney 2026.

As someone with the perceptual condition synaesthesia, Moraton processes colours simultaneously as sound, and vice versa. Named after a cosmic supercluster, Laniakea traverses galaxies, with its kaleidoscopic colours and patterns dictated by the artist’s own original symphonic score.

Projection-mapped onto Barangaroo House, this intergalactic odyssey gave audiences a taste of Moraton’s own “unmeasurable heaven”.
