Festival of Dangerous Ideas 2015 commissions Elliott Routledge to create art for FODI campaign

The Festival of Dangerous Ideas 2015 has commissioned Elliott Routledge (AKA Numskull) to create the unique artwork for the FODI 2015 campaign.

The artwork appears on the micro-site, on-site advertising, and an off-site JC Decaux campaign from 24 August

This morning, Routledge painted a new piece on the Sydney Opera House information kiosk – based on the single prop artwork for the FODI session entitled Nuclear Delusions, with keynote speaker Eric Schlosser of Fast Food Nation and Command and Control fame.

Says Rochelle Livingstone, marketing campaign manager of Talks and Ideas at the Sydney Opera House: “In the same vein as FODI speakers taking an idea to its nth degree, artist Elliott Routledge (also known as Numskull) was commissioned by the Sydney Opera House to reimagine black and white archival photography and push the limits of their interpretation, supporting thought-provoking topics explored within the Festival of Dangerous Ideas program. Elliott has created a series of arresting and playful images for this year’s campaign, one of which has been physically installed at the Sydney Opera House to be seen by over 500,000 people on site.”
