Overview
The Pygmy Perch 360 is a free, immersive 5‑minute short film experience created to highlight the plight of the threatened local Pygmy Perch, screened in the round using rear projection technology.
What it is
Developed by the Murray Science Hub in 2018, Pygmy Perch 360 is an artistic and educational installation that takes audiences into the world of the Pygmy Perch, a critically endangered fish species. The film is shown entirely in the round on a KMART trampoline frame with rear projection, creating a 360° immersive environment. It runs for 5 minutes on a loop, allowing time for audience interaction.
Purpose
The project raises awareness about the species’ conservation challenges, river health, and habitat protection. It also offers a unique opportunity to meet local scientists — in past tours, DPI Fisheries Manager Luke Pearce appeared with live Pygmy Perch in a fish tank for Q&A.
Past Murray Arts tour
Murray Arts has hosted the tour in regional NSW, including:
