2012 Vivid Sydney: Palette of Urban Green #2
HY William Chan spent five months designing and producing the site-specific light installation "Palette of Urban Green".
Using 125 sustainable softwood timber pallets, Chan upcycles a common waste product to create a ‘palette’ of six simple yet elegant sculptures. He aims to transform a tree-filled landscape into an urban fabric of city high-rises. The revolving form of each tower allows for a magnificent and playful cacophony of lights. Each strip of energy-efficient LEDs will glow according to the movement of the expected 500,000 festival visitors.
June 4th, 2012.
Sydney will once again be transformed into a spectacular canvas of light, music and ideas when Vivid Sydney takes over the city after dark from 25 May – 11 June 2012.
Colouring the city with creativity and inspiration, Vivid Sydney highlights include the hugely popular immersive light installations and projections; performances from local and international musicians at Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House and the new Vivid Ideas Exchange at the MCA featuring public talks and debates from leading global creative thinkers.
Vivid Sydney is a major celebration of the creative industries and the biggest festival of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting over 400,000 attendees in 2011.
Now heading into its fourth year, Vivid Sydney was ranked in the Top Ten global ideas festivals by the influential Guardian newspaper in the UK.
