2016 Vivid Sydney: Vision^(Reflection) and Horizon
In the foreground - Vision^(Reflection)
In the background - Horizon can be seen.
The concept of Vision^(Reflection) is to showcase a large variety of objects, but present them in a completely different way to how they are usually perceived. The artists are particularly interested in exploring that space where vision and reflection collide.
The octagonal shape of the installation originates from the concept of Ba Gua (the Eight Diagrams), which is the arrangement of eight symbols that the ancient Chinese used to understand the rules of the universe and nature.
On the top and back façades, triangular reflectors are arranged geometrically to create crystal-like illumination effects by reflecting the light from LED strips. The front is an opaque PVC surface, on which animations are projected.
When audiences walk towards the installation, they see transitions of fragmented and twisted narrative images from their daily life and hear mysterious sound effects synchronised to the light effects and animation.
Artists: (a)Maze (Shidi Luo (China) / Mengjing Yan (China) / Tong Jia (China) / Hongji Lin (China) / Ke Zhang (China))
Collaborators: ST Microelectronics (Joe Peng (China)) / PAK Lighting (Yujin Lee (Malaysia)/ Moonnam Yoong (Malaysia))
Horizon explores the subtle interaction between audience, light and space, breaking down the viewing barriers of a sandstone wall to reveal a window into an alternative landscape.
Artists: Indermühle + Indermühle (Aly Indermühle (Australia) / Balthasar Indermühle (Australia))
The installation presents as a painting of an arid central-desert landscape, reaching into the distance like a mirage. The sense of horizon is captured by a series of vertical lights, lined up along the wall and which graduate in colour from blue to reds and oranges.
