Art Processors

Art Processors Inventing intuitive visitor experiences that inspire curiosity. Our work strives to create a harmony between people, place, content and technology.

Art Processors is an award-winning creative technology company with an international reputation for enhancing visitor experiences. We began with a challenge to the status quo—a novel approach to museum interpretation replacing wall labels with a personalised, location-based interface that puts the visitor at the centre of the experience. From here, Art Processors grew out of hard work, good and ba

d ideas, risk-taking, laughs (usually at our own expense) and the occasional language warnings. We like a challenge and we are always working to find new ways to magnify people’s natural inquisitiveness. More than a decade later we are an international organisation with a diverse staff based in Melbourne, Hobart, Sydney, New York City, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Milwaukee and San Francisco.

National Reconciliation Week takes place from 27 May to 3 June 2026. These dates recognise two significant milestones in Australia’s reconciliation journey — the successful 1967 Referendum and the High Court’s Mabo decision.

Reconciliation is about building stronger relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians, grounded in respect, understanding, and shared responsibility.

We recognise the enduring impact of Australia’s history on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and acknowledge the importance of continued learning, listening, and meaningful action in advancing reconciliation. While progress has been made, reconciliation is an ongoing journey that calls on all Australians to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable future.

A reconciled Australia is one where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have equitable access to opportunities, outcomes, and self-determination, and where culture, history, and connection to Country are recognised and respected.

At Art Processors & Pladia, we are committed to supporting reconciliation through the work we do and the way we work together.

We are proud to support thetorchvic in bringing Confined 17 (pictured) to life through a digital experience powered by Pladia.

Now open in Melbourne, Australia, Confined 17 showcases the work of 424 First Peoples artists with lived experience of incarceration in Victoria. Across the gallery, 501 artworks explore themes of kinship, healing, ancestral stories and life journeys, spanning both traditional and contemporary practices.

Through the browser-based app, visitors can browse, listen, purchase artworks, and connect more deeply with the stories and themes behind each piece.

If you’re looking for meaningful ways to take action this National Reconciliation Week, we invite you to explore and purchase an artwork from Confined 17 through Pladia or visit the exhibition in person at Glen Eira City Council Gallery, Caulfield.

Never has it been more important to develop genuinely authentic cultural tourism experiences that better connect people with place. Our full-service experience design offering is here for this.

Authentic storytelling is at the centre of all our design work, including our exciting project with Simon Currant and Associates for the new Chocolate Experience at Cadbury.

Our in-house content design team prioritises deep subject matter research to unearth the big and little heritage stories that matter no w. This informs the concept development for each immersive experience where we think carefully about how the audience will be entertained, the emotions they will feel, how they will learn and connect.

In the coming months we’ll share some more examples as the project progresses.

We’re very excited to be leading the experience design of Hobart’s new Cadbury Factory Chocolate Experience.

Developed by Simon Currant and Associates in collaboration with Cadbury, the project will transform the Cadbury Factory waterfront parklands at Claremont into the world’s most extraordinary chocolate destination.

The ambitious project will deliver a state-of-the-art tourism experience - blending authentic storytelling, audience participation and chocolate-infused sensory engagement.
Our design approach considers all aspects of the visitor experience to create entertaining environments that deliver quality in audience engagement and venue operations.

Projects like this demonstrate the importance of an integrated design process for tourism attraction development that combines wow-factor experiences with the operational reliability required for high-traffic venues.

✨ Beautiful design meets real-world utility. Why choose one?

We built Empower to put your venue in the palm of every visitor’s hand. Now, with our latest features, we’re going even further:

🔴 Audio Access+
60% of visitors don’t bring headphones, so we invented a way for anyone to listen discreetly on their own device - no extra devices, downloads, or logins required.

🟢 Pathways
Visitor friction starts at arrival. That’s why we created landmark-driven, hardware-free, step-by-step directions to objects, amenities, and points of interest. Whether it’s the Mona Lisa or the café, navigation is seamless from the start.

Curious to see more?
📩 DM us or book time with our team.

👋 Say goodbye to visitor friction. Say hello to Empower.
A modern, frictionless PWA—purpose-built for cultural spaces. 🎨

We know a great visit isn’t just about what’s on display. It’s about the full experience: the art, the stories, the ease of navigation, and how it all connects.

Empower helps institutions deliver that seamlessly—no downloads, devices, or hardware required.

🎥 The video offers a closer look at what Empower can do. If you're exploring new ways to engage visitors, we’d welcome the conversation.
