"Synarcade's professional, creative and down-to-earth approach in training
and coordinating the doco crew and producing the inspirational conference documentary
DVD personified what Plan Australia is all about...."
Jen Hanrahan, communications officer, Plan Australia.
“Synarcade is no doubt experimenting with technology and successfully integrates aspects of VJ culture into their multimedia productions. What is quite unique however is that their style and concept opens it up to a different audience, who are not standard theatre audiences or those that would necessarily engage in hybrid arts practices. It is incredibly accessible …."
Virginia Hyam, Studio Executive Producer, Sydney Opera House
"This form of innovation that both draws upon research into the experience of everyday life and yet retains the immediacy and openness of live performance should be recognized as at the forefront of contemporary artistic practice today.”
