Sustainable Magic is a creative partnership between best friends Sean Stevens and Ashley Newton.
We believe art is much more engaging if it is interactive.
We strive to make art that is alive and causes those who encounter it to feel surprise, wonder, delight, a sense of magic, and playfulness, leading them to question their conception what what is broadly and specifically possible -- what can be done both by groups of people in the world and on an individual basis.
We want to demonstrate what can be done with art and technology, so that others will begin to harness these tools themselves to make more magic and beauty in the world.
In this aim, we want to help others learn to harness their creative potential through teaching workshops that blend creativity with engineering through the use of emerging fabrication technologies, such as 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, and embedded electronics (e.g. Arduino).
Underpinning all our work, we seek to enforce the deeply important message of sustainability and renewable energy, creating art with low power consumption, that is able to be powered from our renewable energy technology / infrastructure (primarily solar and human-power). We don’t need to rely on hydrocarbon fuel and the conflict and pollution its use brings about. We don’t need to destroy the world around us in order to create something fun and beautiful. We can celebrate our humanity and have fun while not destroying our physical world.

If you would like to involve us in a project or event, or have a vision for something you would like to see created, or would like us to teach a work shop, please contact us.
Of special note, we have an entire green (pedal/solar) audio & lighting setup capable of supporting 200+ person events.
