Gumscape
I think Vivid 2024's best is Chris O'Doherty's aka Reg Mombassa's 'Gumscape with road and creatures' projection on Customs House, which features retro-futuristic robots, one-eyed koalas and these skeletons, a likely nod to Reg's and Mental as Anything's 'Spirit got lost' music video which was a hit for them in the 1980's.
One of the visuals was commissioned in 2013 to hide building works at the rear of the Opera House, and has been adapted for Vivid this year by Spinifex Group.
On another note, it was a spartan 'light walk' from the Opera House to Darling Harbour yesterday. Until last year the NSW government prioritised encouraging visits from overseas through events including Vivid, but a $100 million cut to Destination NSW's budget (from $382 million last year to $273 million this year) has had an obvious effect. A visitor to Sydney would need to go to Lightscape too to feel it was worthwhile...
