Vivid projectors || Sydney

Something a little different at Vivid (hard to do these days)! A handheld shot of the actual projectors when they are displaying block colours on the opera house. More than a dozen projectors erected on scaffold towers in front of the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay almost 500m away will beam their art across the water to light up the Opera House.

But the beauty of this year's Lighting of the Sails is more than skin-deep. As Roberts puts it: "Nothing gets programmed because it's pretty."

Songlines was devised by Roberts, the head of Indigenous programming at the Opera House, to reflect cultural knowledge and rites.
