2015 Vivid Sydney: Heart of the City
Vivid Sydney is a unique winter festival of light, music, and ideas.
Vivid 2015 will run from the 22nd of May until the 8th of June 2015.
Heart of the City: Artists: Anaisa Franco
Collaborators: Aravinth Panchadcharam (India) / Nabhila Faetti (Brazil) / Annie McKinnon (Australia) / Farshad Fahimi (Iran)
The Heart of the City is designed to be both a public artwork and a catalyst for interaction between people. Its undulating sculptural form includes areas in which viewers can take a seat and (quite literally) share with others what is in their heart. This is initiated when participants touch a pulse sensor that detects the rhythm of their heartbeat and responds by channelling a display of pulsating coloured light that illuminates the sculpture. When the sensor is left untouched, The Heart of the City reverts to its own illuminating rhythm.
