2014 Vivid Sydney: Evolution
Vivid Light transforms Sydney into a wonderland of 'light art' sculptures, innovative installations and grand-scale projections for all to enjoy.
May 23 - 9 June 2014
Evolution is a light installation that showcases how the humble household light bulb has changed over the last hundred years.
A giant light bulb envelops a spiral filament made up of 32 individual lamps. At one end of the filament, energy is wasted through the warm tungsten filaments of yesteryear; at the other end, you can experience the cool white efficiency of the latest LEDs.
You can compare and contrast the light sources by using a nearby touch-screen to select which lamps are illuminated. Your visual experience is enriched by access to live data on the power consumption, luminance and colour temperature of the lamps, so you can learn about the changing effectiveness and efficiency of the light bulbs we have used over the last decades.
When the touch-screen is idle, pre-programmed illumination sequences perform a compelling lightshow.
