THE EARTH ABOVE’ WINS SCIENCE AT THE FRINGE AWARD
We are thrilled to announce that The Earth Above: A Deep Time View of Australia’s Epic History has received the Science at the Fringe Award, presented by Inspiring SA.
This immersive planetarium experience, developed by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH) in collaboration with Deakin Motion Lab, invites audiences to explore over 140,000 years of Australia’s human and environmental history. By combining Indigenous knowledges and scientific research, the project offers a powerful perspective on our shared past—and our collective responsibility for the future.
Targeted at high school students, The Earth Above brings together cutting-edge animation, participatory storytelling, and 360-degree cinematography to share ground-breaking discoveries from across the continent. Central to its creation is the leadership and cultural authority of Indigenous communities, whose voices and visions are woven throughout the work.
Project Leads:
Martin Potter, Stefan Greuter, Scott Jackson
Development Team:
Scott Jackson, Jagnoor Singh, Nicholas McKinnon, Charlie Hill-Smith
This award recognises the impact of science communication through creative media. Congratulations to the full team and community collaborators on this outstanding achievement!
