by Eva Koch
Arguably Panasonic's most impressive work on Cockatoo Island, a 3-chip DLP projector (PT-DZ21K) depicts in portrait aspect ratio an Icelandic waterfall on a massive 13 by 7.3 metre screen. The work is also an aural feast, with the very loud rumble of the fall recreating a life-size experience.
