Our Artistic Director Brad Spolding speaks to Ian MacLarty and Stephen Elford ahead of the second iteration of our Minecraft event PLATFORM. We are interested in learning how these makers have approached creating new, highly interactive work for Minecraft.

Ian Maclarty is a videogame developer living in Melbourne, Australia. MacLarty has an interest in small-scope, experimental designs, with processes often involving the use of self-made tools and generative techniques.

Stephen Elford is a Minecraft Educator, Minecraft Content Creator, and 3D Designer. Having been involved in Minecraft Education since late 2011, Stephen has since spoken at two TEDx talks and lent his expertise to the Department of Education and Training and Rail Projects Victoria.

PLATFORM welcomes audiences to The Substation's iconic building, recreated inside a private Minecraft server. PLATFORM is a space for artists across visual and digital arts and electronic music to develop and present new work. In-game audiences are free to explore the iconic Newport building, attend exhibitions across its galleries and interact with other audience avatars.

Staged over five hours, this time players will explore brand new landscapes, new artworks and several new in-game experiences all to a newly curated selection of the best electronic music by our partners, Stable Music.
