Art Processors scooped the 2023 MUSE Creative Awards, taking home four awards across three of our projects for the Sydney Opera House, the National Museum of Australia, and the Bob Dylan Center.
Hosted by the International Awards Associate (IAA) and blind-judged by an international panel of 51 industry professionals, the MUSE Awards recognize excellence across a range of creative and design fields, and celebrate those who are pushing their respective industries to new heights. They received over 6,300 entries from across the globe, indicating the strength of competition in this program.
We believe the success of these three projects, each unveiled within the past year, demonstrate a desire from contemporary audiences to challenge and evolve the ways in which we engage with artistic and cultural experiences.
“Our immersive design work in all these projects is testament to how we combine authentic storytelling with state-of-the-art interactive technology to create highly engaging experiences for audiences that resonate long after the visit,” explains Tony Holzner, Chief Creative Officer, who says these award-winning experiences are indicative of the changing nature of the exhibition design space.
Thank you and congratulations to all our partners and collaborators for From the Sails, DECODED, and Bob Dylan Center. Follow the links below to learn more about our work on these projects.

Platinum Winner in the Event - Public Event category, and Gold Winner in the Experiential & Immersive – Live Experiences category – Sydney Opera House, 'From the Sails: Light Years'
'From the Sails: Light Years', commissioned by Sydney Opera House for its 50th anniversary celebrations was created by our Group Director of Creative Services, Sam Doust, who lent his talents as Principal Artist. The project demonstrates our capability in producing world-class films and linear narratives for activating major cultural destinations and leverages our innovative audio-sync technology.
"Personally, the awards are a wonderful recognition of the effort that went into the artwork,” says Sam. “It was a tremendous honour to be commissioned to create a dual-purpose work of projection art and cinema celebrating the extraordinary legacy of Sydney Opera House and the land it's situated upon, on the occasion of its 50th year as a performance venue and World Heritage listed masterpiece. It also speaks to the joy we saw on so many faces celebrating in the setting of Sydney Harbour."
