Consumed was a 24 hour - 7 day event located in a Brunswick shopfront at a public transport terminus. Consumed displaced the boundaries between maker and audience in the creative process. The artist involved were Hannah Bertram (installations and drawings) Isobel Knowles and Van Souwerine (collaborative animators), Emma van Leest (paper cut out artist), Miso/Stanislava Pinchuk, and Ghostpatrol/David Booth (at that time both mostly focused on street/public art), Lachlan Stuart-Tetlow(digital installation), Holly McNaught (performative installations), and Madeleine Griffith (model maker and illustrator).

The works were made on site and exhibited within a 24 hour period. The shopfront was divided so the production half of the space was clearly visible during the day and also illuminated at night, while the view into the consumption half was obscured by semi-opaque film applied to the window. The display space was obscured during the day with only vague shapes visible through the frosted glass. At night, when the work was underway for twelve or so hours, the display space changed through backlighting to become more apparent and emphatic from the street. Although still more muted than the view onto the production side, the shadows of the objects and people moving in the display area were projected onto the window.
