City Circle Line: Shanghai Station

For Thom Roberts a city’s infrastructure is enchanted territory. A play centre for mis-adventure, alter-egos and surprising transformations.

Thom uses graphic art, animation and augmented reality to share his experience of these landscapes. In 2019 he completed this series of augmented reality art works inspired by Sydney’s City Circle train line. Thom illustrated each of the four stations and created animations super imposing himself driving trains and performing gymnastics throughout the transport circuit.
