Art direction and 2D animation for the Australian arts and music festival MODE.

For the festival’s inaugural edition, bus.group developed a contemporary identity that balances bold graphic treatment, kinetic 2D animation and accompanying animation driven by GAN imagery. The identity has been applied across announcement material and an incoming micro-site to houses all programme information; the teaser shared introduces our work on the festival’s visuality.
