Unknown Things

Deep ocean is undiscovered, magical, beautiful, ugly, dangerous and alive. Inspiring traits for the spirit of an arts festival.

What are the Unknown Things?

You might have seen one of these posters and wondered what it was. Scan the code and you meet creatures like Bobfish or Mrs Crabs.

Artist Aldous Kelly made this world of Unknown Things for Ten Days on the Island, Tasmania’s state arts festival.

We let a few of his creatures loose early. Six of them are above, and there is a whole underwater world to dive into as the Festival unfolds.
