An experiential event brought to you by IT Services
Technology is everywhere, but it’s often hidden in plain sight.
IT Services invited our entire University community down to explore #TheDigitalDimension with our optical illusion event last week as part of the department’s new 2024 YOUR I.T. campaign.
Two huge floor installations have been laid in University Square revealing tech hidden underneath the surface. The idea? Stand on one of the pink square markers for the best angle and snap a picture. The flat floor design will transform into a three-dimensional illusion, creating a very cool photograph.
With the sunshine kindly shining, a fantastic launch day was had with thousands of staff and students flocking to University Square to check out #TheDigitalDimension. We gave away hundreds of items of YOUR I.T. merch and over 300 free juices from the wonderful Freshly Squeezed.
Undoubtedly, the highlight of the day revolved around engaging with our University community. We were thrilled to witness numerous entries from both staff and students for our optical illusion photograph competition. The quality of submissions thus far has been truly remarkable. However, the completion of the launch event does not signify the end of #TheDigitalDimension journey... there are ways you can still get involved:
- University square illusions will be up until Friday 24 May, and you have until then to enter the competition.
- Keep an eye out for installations across campus to take part. #TheDigitalDimension optical illusions are also outside the Sydney Jones Library, Greenbank Student Village and Leahurst Vet School – spot them, snap a pic, and submit before 24 May to get involved.

IT Services is keen to give the University community opportunities to explore innovative solutions in an ever-evolving digital landscape. We are already gearing up for future initiatives to support the University on its digital journey. Stay tuned for exciting updates and announcements via our social channels and our recently launched newsletter, YOUR I.T. Insight.
“#TheDigitalDimension served as an important platform for fostering meaningful connections with both staff and students.

A heartfelt thank you from IT Services to everyone who contributed to the success of #TheDigitalDimension launch event – from our dedicated team members to our valued partners and of course our wonderful audience participants. What a memorable day.”
