Projection by Ross Ashton of ETC London.This year's St Patrick's Day fireworks display took place at the Rock of Cashel in Co Tipperary.
Created by The Electric Canvas, Wonderland was celebrated feature of the inaugural Melbourne White Night Festival. The 2014 Wonderland consists of projections that transformed the buildings of Flinders Street once the sun set; turning the brick and concrete facades of early Twentieth Century buildings such as Flinders Street Station, the Metropolitan Gas Company building, the former Commercial Travellers Club building, the former Ball and Welch Department Store, the Masonic Club building and the former Forum and Rapallo Cinemas into brilliantly coloured canvases that showed off images of magic, carnivals, amusement parks and circuses.
The White Night Festival in Melbourne is a State Government of Victoria initiative created by the Victorian Major Events Company. Originally conceived in Paris in 2002, to make vibrant and dynamic art and culture accessible to large audiences in public spaces, Paris’ Nuit Blanche (White Night) has inspired an international network of similar programmes in over twenty cities globally, including Melbourne.
In 2013 Melbourne became the first Australian city to create its own White Night Festival, producing an all night event of light, colour and artistry. The White Night Festival, now in its second year, is a wonderful opportunity to showcase Melbourne as Australia’s international city of artistic innovation, and celebrate the city’s commitment to modern and interpretive art, music and culture.
The former Metropolitan Gas Company building is a fine example of Neo Gothic style. Designed by Reed, Smart and Tappin and built in 1892, the Metropolitan Gas Company building was originally faced in red brick and Waurn Ponds stone, but in the 1930s its facade had fallen in to disrepair and the building was refaced in synthetic stone, composed of ground Pyrmont sandstone mixed with white cement. The building was the headquarters of the Metropolitan Gas Company for many years, and was then the headquarters for its successor the Victorian Gas and Fuel Corporation, until 1967 when the organisation moved to new buildings directly across the road (which have since been demolished). After the Victorian Gas and Fuel Corporation's departure, for several years the building was occupied by Clark Rubber.

The beautiful red brick and yellow painted Edwardian facade of the former Commercial Travellers Club building was designed by Tompkins and Tompkins. Built with large windows and multiple balconies, it has been designed in Victorian Mannerist style, and was completed in 1898. It is an early example of the influence of the Romanesque Revival, but is more transitional, with strong Queen Anne influences.

The former Ball and Welch Department Store was constructed between 1898 and 1899 and designed by architects H. W. and F. B. Tompkins. The building is in a Georgian period Chicagoesque style and consists of eight floors.

Dreamscape inc. The Bridge
The Bridge
Artist: 32 Hundred Lighting: Iain Reed (Australia)
Dreamscape including The Bridge is the world’s largest interactive lighting display. It links the entire Quay precinct from the Sydney Opera House to the Sydney Harbour Bridge into one cohesive canvas of light.
This expansive and dynamic installation enhances buildings around Circular Quay with colour and texture; sets up a one-kilometre ‘line of light’ along the Cahill Expressway and beams 25 brilliant ‘fingers of light’ into the night sky from the roof of the Overseas Passenger Terminal.
The installation is a collaboration between lighting artist Iain Reed and event production company 32 Hundred Lighting. Key features of the installation are its accessibility and interactivity, enabling participants to control the colour, texture and pattern of lighting along the entire precinct.
The control hub for the installation is located in a perspex dome at Circular Quay and uses an extraordinary purpose-built 3D interactive model of the city skyline; participants simply touch the model to change the colours and patterns across the canvas of the buildings before them or to add their own sparkle to the eastern face of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

"This year, Vivid LIVE has commissioned multi-award winning German design collective URBANSCREEN to create a new projected artwork, transforming Sydney Opera House with their reinterpretation of the sails – Vivid LIVE’s most public event. (Recommend viewing this VIDEO)
URBANSCREEN have taken the art of light projection, video mapping and motion graphics to extraordinary heights in their many large scale installations, including commissions from major art galleries, international festivals and opera companies. Recent works showcase their versatile and sensitive engagement with architecture, from the dream-themed 555 Kubik at the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the ‘operatic staging’ of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Idomeneo, Rè di Creta at Theatre Bremen, to the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Museums Quartier in Vienna – highlighting Creative Director Thorsten Bauer’s musical approach to institutions.
The work will explore both the iconic sculptural form of the Opera House but also its place as a home for music, dance and drama, resulting in a work that is both sophisticated and spectacular." Reference
While the lightshows around the harbour are stunning it is worth noting that there is just so much more to the Vivid Sydney Festival and more than one night does need to be allocated to see all that this festival has to offer.

May 23 - 9 June 2014
GALAXIA II is a modern-day take on the aesthetics of ‘Optical Art’ of the 1960s, only this time with LED lighting as its contemporary medium.
Op Art is a perceptual experience that plays with how your vision functions, investigating the area between understanding and seeing. It exploits the functional relationship between the retina of your eye – the organ that ‘sees’ patterns – and your brain, the organ that interprets patterns. Certain visual stimuli can cause confusion between these two organs, resulting in the perception of irrational optical phenomena, something Op Artists used to full effect.
GALAXIA II plays with two perceptual phenomena: firstly the fact that colour is always interpreted by your brain in relation to its context, and secondly the way that the sculpture’s three-dimensional character results in a geometrical instability, especially when you move across the work.

Cadmans Cottage is the oldest surviving residential building in Sydney, having been built in 1816 for the use of the governmental coxswains and their crews. The building is heavily steeped in the history of Sydney, also claiming the title as the first building to have been built on the shoreline of The Rocks area.
It is claimed that during high tide, the water would come within 8 feet (2.4 m) of Cadmans Cottage; however, due to the reclamation of land during the building of Circular Quay, the waterline has moved about 100 meters away since 1816. The building has had several different uses in its lifetime—first and foremost as the abode of the four governmental coxswains (from 1816 until 1845), the headquarters of the Sydney Water Police (from 1845 to 1864) and as the Sailor's Home (from 1865 to 1970).
Restoration of Cadmans Cottage began in 1972 after it was proclaimed a Heritage site under the National Parks and Wildlife Act and control of the site was handed over to the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority.
A major archaeological investigation occurred in 1988 (in preparation for the bicentennial redevelopment) and since then, only minor maintenance works have been completed on the building. The building is now used as the home for the Sydney Harbour National Parks Information Center, and is able to be viewed by the public.
John Cadman was born in 1772 and was transported to Australia in 1797 at the age of 25 for the crime of stealing a horse. He was pardoned by the Governor Macquarie in 1821. He is the namesake of this building, and he lived in it as the Superintendent of Boats, with his wife and two stepdaughters, from 1827 until his retirement in 1845, staying a total of 18 years, the longest time served by a governmental coxswain until the position was abolished after Cadman's retirement.
Here, Cadmans Cottage, is seen lit up as part of Vivid Sydney 2011.

May 23 - 9 June 2014
From Tinker Bell to Titania, fairies have long inhabited our folklore, our literature and most of all the realms of our childhood imaginations. Perhaps when you were very young, the reflected light of a mirror became a mischievous elf; maybe the sound of a triangle being struck or the breeze in the trees inspired you to hope you might just encounter these delicate, magical beings.
Vivid Sydney lures these dwellers of fantastical dimensions to our harbourside, with When the fairies come out to play.
The artwork comprises 200 illuminated, kinetic ornaments which flit and flutter playfully, shimmering in the dark and allowing themselves to be seen by the mere mortals who wander through the park. These tiny sprites recreate the sense of awe you once felt when you believed in the possibility of enchanted forests, bewitched flowers and spirits that lived at the bottom of your garden.
The fairies are brought to life by energy-efficient, pre-programmed LED chips, which continuously twinkle through the colour spectrum.

Imagine a giant canvas where you can paint and splash light collaboratively. Giant concentric circles invite you to leap onto them. When you do, you enter a world where play and movement create swirling effects of light and colour. Welcome to The Pool.
More than 100 interactive circular platforms sit side by side. Each pad is independent and simultaneously interacts with and ‘listens’ to its environment, adjusting its output according to your movements. It senses where you place your feet, how heavily you land, and how quickly you leap and bound.
Together with all your ‘pool playmates’, you can instruct your pads to create complex, and delightfully unpredictable patterns of colour.

Its always great to shoot with my friend Nathanael, he always brings his A game and tonight was no different. Shooting at Luftwerk's Flow light and water installation I thought it might be fun to get some tighter shots of him. This was one where the timing gods were lucky and the fast moving projection just lit him up perfectly on his face.

Norbert the Nautilus, Artists: Ample Projects
Norbert the Nautilus swims in the Flowing River of Light in Chatswood Mall. Norbert is the hero of The Nautilus and the Sea, the animated building projection on The Concourse. He is featured in the Flowing River of Light as a hand crafted light sculpture surrounded by the glowing seaweed of the world he discovers on journey in his story on The Concourse.
As dusk fell Thursday night on the Snake River, Julian Matthews, Elliott Moffett and other members of the Nimiipuu (Nez Perce) tribe gathered at Lower Granite Dam with stories about why a free flowing river is critically important for tribal sovereignty.
Their messages were amplified with an illuminated banner that says “Honor Treaties” and spotlights projecting messages to save wild salmon, respect treaty rights, and remove the 4 dams on the Lower Snake. Backbone Campaign artful activists Steve Parker and Bill Moyer executed the projection with support from the Backbone Team Amy Morrison, Laura Daughenbaugh and Justin Brandimarte.
The purpose of this action was to inspire everyone who cares about the future of wild salmon and wild rivers to urge Senators Murray and Cantwell (D-WA) and Washington State Governor Jay Inslee to remove the 4 dams on the lower Snake River and earmark Biden infrastructure plan funding to support the Columbia Basin Initiative, aka "Simpson Plan" developed over many years by Congressman Mike Simpson (R-ID).
"We are tired of the obfuscation of our so-called leaders who are seeking infrastructure funding to subsidize culverts* rather than join a bipartisan initiative to remove these extinction machines on the Snake River," stated Bill Moyer of Backbone Campaign.
*In 2018, the US Supreme Court affirmed the NW Tribes position that the state of Washington is already obligated to remove culverts that impede salmon migration.
The federal Army Corps of Engineers owns and operates the four Lower Snake River Dams and their removal has been deemed essential for saving endangered salmon, steelhead runs as well as the orcas of the Puget Sound who rely upon the Snake River Chinook for sustenance.

中華民國各界慶祝109年國慶籌備委員會
In response to the NRA's 2018 national convention in Dallas, skilled light technicians and activists in over 15 cities will project anti-gun violence messages on buildings across the US this Thursday through Sunday. The messages read “The NRA Enables Domestic Terrorists”, an image of an AR-15 with a slash through it, and another calling out the amount that city’s Congressional District’s elected officials’ have taken from the NRA, in exchange for their silence on ending gun violence.
The action is coordinated by the Washington State-based Backbone Campaign, an organization that provides creative tactics to the progressive movement. Backbone Campaign’s network of Solidarity Brigades, skilled tacticians in over 20 cities, is mobilizing this largest coordinated grassroots light projection action.
With a light projector, GOBOs (metal stencils), and a battery, images and text will light up sides of buildings protesting the NRA and elected officials’ collusion with their platform. Local activists in each city have researched the amount their elected officials have taken from the NRA in campaign contributions and will be exposing those amounts in a large, visible, and public way.
Actions are planned to happen today (5-3-18) through Saturday in Dallas, Boulder, LA, San Diego, Tallahassee, Nashville, Spokane, Madison, DC, NYC, Chicago, Portland, Atlanta, Detroit, Tacoma, Seattle.
"The majority of Americans support stronger gun laws as a real way to reduce deaths, but our Congress refuses to act, out of fear of alienating their sugar daddy, the NRA. We are exposing the blood money that our elected officials have accepted from the NRA for inaction. Their collusion with an organization that enables domestic terrorists and endangers us all is cause for their removal from office,” says Backbone Campaign Executive Director Bill Moyer.
“Our youth should not have to be traumatized by “shooter drills” so that profiteers of violence can continue making and selling these weapons of war. Too many lives have already been lost. It is long past time to grow constituent pressure for an assault weapons ban. Thus, We the People - especially the youth - are taking leadership since the so-called leaders have failed us.”

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.
Melbourne’s State Library of Victoria was transformed during the 2014 White Night festival by Nicholas Azidis’ Kaleidoscope; an analogue projection that explored the mysterious world of microscopic plant forms. As botanical projections were shot onto the building’s façade, it went through a miraculous and colourful metamorphosis. Nicholas Azidis works in the specialised medium of analogue projections. As a projection artist, his investigations have resulted in the creation of more than 1500 projection installations that create distinctive moods, atmospheric transformations, nostalgic and abstract forms.

The main Swanston Street facade of the State Library of Victoria is built of sandstone in an English Palladian manner, with central Corinthian portico and flanking wings which terminate in projecting pavilions. A giant order, supporting an entablature and balustrading, runs across the undulating, two storey facade. The classical character continues in the interior of the Queen's Hall reading room, which was designed with a central space encircled by galleried aisles, delineated by a giant Ionic order colonnade.

Vivid Light transforms Sydney into a wonderland of 'light art' sculptures, innovative installations and grand-scale projections for all to enjoy.
May 23 - 9 June 2014
The MCA Projection takes the audience on an integrated journey, moving from one space to another in a constant flux of movement. Inspired by Artist Jess Johnson, the MCA building morphs into an interactive and dynamic performance space, coming to life, changing its appearance, and even seeming to change its structure at times through the use of isometric designs, old school gaming, pop up 3D books and forced perspective. As each chapter evolves we have built drama and emotion through animation and 3D visual effects tricks that will take the viewer on an abstract, emotional and playful journey through constantly changing worlds.
