This year the one million visitors that attend Sydney Chinese New Year Festival will be greeted by a new digital installation created by Scoundrel Projects in partnership with City of Sydney and the Festival's Principal Partner, Westpac.
The installation features a seven metre screen that flashes through 300 individual fortunes every minute. Festival goers are invited to snare their fortune simply by taking a photo of the fluctuating screen.
With a new fortune appearing every 0.2 seconds, and with 600 unique messages, the activation is the digital equivalent to reaching into a giant jar of fortune cookies.
