Professor Dennis Del Favero

Dennis Del Favero is an Australian artist and academic. His media, video, and photographic art have been widely exhibited in solo exhibitions in museums and galleries such as Sprengel Museum Hannover, ViaFarini Milan, Neue Galerie Graz, and ZKM Karlsruhe, as well as in major group exhibitions, including the Sydney Film Festival, ISEA, International Film Festival Amsterdam, Biennial of Seville, and the Battle of the Nations War Memorial, Leipzig (a joint project with Jenny Holzer).

Professor Terry Smith, in The Cambridge Companion to Australian Art, states that “[Del Favero’s] work… takes interactivity to a new technological level… a depth of and enablement not matched in other art…”. Professor Peter Weibel, the late CEO of ZKM Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany, notes that his work is “a tour de force, a world-first cinematic innovation that integrates artificial intelligence with the technologies of interactivity, 3D, colour, sound and the moving image.” He is represented by Galerie Brigitte Schenk (Cologne) and Mais Wright (Sydney).

Del Favero’s collaborative research programme comprises work across the fields of art, humanities, engineering, and science, exploring experimental interactive aesthetics using advanced AI visualisation systems.

Recognition of his contributions includes:

• Leadership of interdisciplinary art and technology centres, labs, and programmes across UNSW’s Faculties of Arts, Design & Architecture, Engineering, and Science
• 16 prestigious international fellowships and 9 premier prizes
• Research funding exceeding $35M
• The largest commercialisation of an Australian creative arts output, valued at AUD$9.
• Curatorial selection of his creative technology research outputs for presentation in over 135 first-tier international venues, such as SIGGRAPH Asia (2023) and ISEA (2024).

As Executive Director at the ARC, he was responsible for the Humanities and Creative Arts division, overseeing its policies, programmes, and $250M annual budget. Across the ARC, he initiated and implemented the Interdisciplinary Assessment and Policy Framework and the industry-continuous Linkage Funding scheme.

As Director of UNSW iCinema, he has delivered a range of cutting-edge, competitively funded projects, including:

• iCASTS, an immersive training system for the Australian and Chinese mining industries, used by 30,000 miners, reducing injuries by 67% with no fatalitie
• iDesign, a 3D stage design prototyping system for the Sydney Theatre Company
• iModel, a one-to-one scale rehearsal design modelling system for Opera Australia
• netARCHIVE, a networked display system for multi-located museum collections for the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney
• memorySCAPE, an intelligent database VR system for the Australian War Memorial, Canberra

These outputs form part of a significant industry application portfolio that also includes collaborations with partners such as Rio Tinto, as well as commercialisations of immersive visualisation technologies, such as with Shenyang Design & Research Institute of the China Technology & Engineering Group.

He is currently delivering iFire, an artificially intelligent visualisation system that depicts immersive interactions with unpredictable extreme fire scenarios to enhance preparedness, such as those of Los Angeles in 2025 and the Australian Black Summer of 2019/2020. It is being deployed for Fire and Rescue NSW’s first responder training academy, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s online platforms, CSIRO/Data61’s simulation lab, and exhibition programmes for ISEA and Düsseldorf/Cologne Open.

Del Favero has been at the forefront of art and technology research, pioneering group immersion using audience behaviour and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to interactively shape the digital environment. This enables audiences and settings to seamlessly interact in reciprocal ways – perceptually, sensorially and kinaesthetically.

Focusing on art AI-based visualisation, his research develops and integrates artistic, conceptual and technological advances in interactive aesthetics, immersive visualisation and intelligent systems. This has facilitated powerful, effective simulations for a diversity of contexts, from the information-rich to the risk-laden, in safe, high-fidelity 2D and 3D virtual settings. Integral to his work is its translation into creative and service industry applications–ranging from art installations (for first tier galleries such as Neue Galerie, Graz); interactive computer graphic installations (for first-tier museums and events); immersive visualisation technology (for first-tier museums and festivals such as Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art); performance stage design (for first-tier companies such as Sydney Theatre Company); televisual settings (for first-tier broadcasters such as ABC); to visualisation training environments for emergency responders (for organisations such as Fire and Rescue NSW’s Emergency Services Academy).

Key achievements include:

The immersion of users in panoramic virtual settings which are intuitively responsive to kinaesthetic input, using ground-breaking 3D interactive panoramic cinemas. These facilitate full-body immersion in which audiences can interact with complex scenarios. Developed through multiple mobile iterations and designs from 80° to 360°, and prefiguring to the film industry Virtual Production Volumes used by Apple, Disney and Marvel. It has been commissioned by 53 first-tier international venues and commercialised as permanent infrastructure by 6 world-leading organisations. These interactive immersive visualisation systems enable the creation of scenarios that are aesthetically dynamic and evolve over time.

The translation of real-world data into intelligent environments sets the scene for the exploration of threat scenarios. Prefigured in Del Favero’s projects iFire and Penumbra, which explore the visualisation of dynamic fires, through the ground-breaking translation of SPARK and WRF-SFIRE mathematical fire models and NASA satellite imagery into interactive scenarios using film industry standard Unreal Real-Time 3D system. Users can create fire-ground episodes with an AI setting that interprets user behaviour and dynamically changes its behaviour in response. These advances build on Del Favero’s multi-disciplinary Nebula and Scenario projects. Nebula translates large-scale water vapor satellite data into a novel 3D setting jointly created by users and the setting. It was developed in collaboration with art theorists, climate scientists, satellite database programmers and NASA. Scenario creates a risk-laden labyrinth where the users and AI humanoid avatars interactively explore threats. It was developed in collaboration with AI programmers, creative writers, composers, scenographers and interaction designers, modellers and motion tracking animators. The projects have been curatorially selected more than 30 times for exhibition in first-tier international festivals, galleries and museums. This research has been integrated into iFire and Penumbra applications.

Burning Landscapes: Reimagining unpredictable scenarios

ARC Australian Laureate Fellowship FL200100004
2020-25

The Project aims to transform the traditional artistic paradigm of visualisation as the human-centred depiction of predictable events by harnessing revolutionary advances in art and technology. Through application of an advanced artistic framework, this Laureate project expects to demonstrate how globally distributed users and digital systems can collaboratively depict unpredictable scenarios such as wildfire landscapes in real time and at 1:1 scale. Anticipated outcomes include a cutting-edge platform that provides life-like experiences to understand their spatial dynamics and the increasing uncertainties they pose, for dissemination through creative industry applications to optimise engagement and impact.

Burning Landscapes: Reimagining unpredictable scenarios

ARC Australian Laureate Fellowship FL200100004
2020

The Project aims to transform the traditional artistic paradigm of visualisation as the human-centred depiction of predictable events by harnessing revolutionary advances in art and technology. Through application of an advanced artistic framework, this Laureate project expects to demonstrate how globally distributed users and digital systems can collaboratively depict unpredictable scenarios such as wildfire landscapes in real time and at 1:1 scale. Anticipated outcomes include a cutting-edge platform that provides life-like experiences to understand their spatial dynamics and the increasing uncertainties they pose, for dissemination through creative industry applications to optimise engagement and impact.

Universities Australia: Australia – Germany Joint Research Co-Operation Scheme 57511643
2020

The Project aims to prototype an aesthetic framework that can address the problem in Contemporary Art and Creative Industries of archiving ephemeral artworks, such as temporary installation, media, performance and sculpture art, in experientially dynamic forms. While conventional documentary methods capture static and fragmentary aspects of such artworks, we will explore artificially intelligent (AI) digital methodologies applied to the collection of the contemporary art festival Skulptur Projekte. These can animate the artworks as 3D cinematic-scale simulations that embody their full range of spatial and temporal qualities, networked to 3D screens and VR head-mounted displays.

ARC Linkage Project LP150100318
2015-2017

At the forefront of cultural heritage visualisation, this project develops ground-breaking Australian research to resolve the fundamental challenges of narrative coherence for museum audiences. Addressing narrative coherence provides a structure for interpretation, as users navigate, explore and creatively reorganise heterogeneous datasets. The project integrates a unique heritage dataset — the Atlas of Maritime Buddhism (Atlas) — which has accumulated historic evidence for the spread of Buddhism from India to Korea through the seaports of Southeast Asia. Its pan-Asian spatially and temporally enabled sources are significantly diverse in both type and format (e.g. archaeological materials, travellers’ accounts and historic gazetteers to name a few). The aim of the research is to develop a pioneering narrative-driven deep mapping schema, an information visualisation framework for interactively exploring the narrative patterns, processes and phenomena in the Atlas. This schema investigates narrative coherence through the experimental application of the world’s first deep mapping data browser — a navigational interface developed in a 360° 3D (omnidirectional) virtual environment.

2015-2016

This project explores how interactions between,across and beyond humans and nonhumans can be experimentally embodied, aesthetically reformulated and theoretically challenged in their spatial, temporal and transversally entangled spheres. The project examines the hypothesis and potentials of INTRASPACE, a spatial transposition of the theoretical concept of “intra-action” introduced by philosopher, theoretical physicist and feminist scholar Karen Barad. INTRASPACE produces a transformative, differential and resilient space of emergence where apparatus, human bodies and digitally constructed figures become diaphanous to each other. A sensorium for embodied experiences, where architectural processes coincide with bodies of the apparatus, the virtual, the engineers, the visitors, the machines and cameras – bodies are constantly updating sites of construction. The experimental framework critically looks at the potentials of both, the digital and the human, to mutually enhance their functionality, their exposure in artificial and real spaces, their social interaction and self-perception. It offers a technical and conceptual infrastructure, a transformative disposition for equal encounters between digital, machinist and human sensoria.The resulting differentiated perspective, spanning from a single point of touch to a sensory space, negotiates the body in motion as immediate perceptive entity in relation to its surroundings.
