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
Across the ages, we have attributed human motivations, characteristics and behaviour to inanimate objects, animals and natural phenomena. From George Orwell’s Animal Farm to the Bible’s talking serpent; from Greek deities appearing to us in human form to the characters in the Jungle Book, we have sought and created reflections of our own experiences in non-human beings and objects.
In a 21st century take on this very human tendency, Cars That Feel explores anthropomorphism, and the relationship we can have with inanimate objects. This piece was born of the idea that people strive to look for human qualities in things, and will behave differently if that thing is perceived to be “alive”. What if cars had feelings? What would you say to one? How would you react?

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.

Lighting of the Sails: Austral Flora Ballet
Artist: BEMO (United States)
Artist: Andrew Thomas Huang (United States) with BEMO (United States)
This year, Los Angeles-based Andrew Thomas Huang is the torch-bearer entrusted with the Lighting of the Sails.
Huang’s Austral Flora Ballet is a hypnotic fusion of contemporary dance and motion-capture technology that brings our botanic wonders to life as never seen before. Together with choreographer Toogie Barcelo and the animation design team at Bemo in Los Angeles, Huang crafts a lush spectacle from such beloved floral gems as the New South Wales waratah, kangaroo paws and red beard orchids, all of which have enormous connection for First Nations peoples to their country, story and dance.

In 2015, Daniel Everette Hale released documents revealing devastating failures in the U.S. drone war program, among them the widespread killing of civilians.
For his truth-telling in the interest of humanity, Daniel has been prosecuted under the Espionage Act and is now being held in the Alexandria (Virginia) Detention Center awaiting sentencing on July 27, 2021. He faces up to 10 years in federal prison.
Please go to www.StandWithDanielHale.org to find out how you can call on President Biden to pardon Daniel and call on Federal Judge Liam O’Grady to sentence Daniel to time-served so that Daniel can be immediately released on July 27.
These images were created on Saturday, June 26, 2021 when supporters of Daniel Hale hit the streets of DC. They used spotlights to project images of Daniel and messages calling for President Biden to "Pardon Daniel Hale." Most photos by Eleanor Goldfield

Salt Lake Casts a Light on TPP
On the eve of the Republican National Convention, August 21, 2020 activists with the "March for the Dead, Fight for the Living" and The Illuminator projected 80ft tall images on the side of the Verizon building at the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge with messages calling on the Trump administration and beyond to take responsible action to save lives and end suffering.

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.

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.

Gamma World - MCA Original Facade
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.

'Vivid Aquatique #vividsydney is a completely immersive water theatre, combining a magic 20-metre wall of light, colour and music inspired by the fountains of Versailles. This is the first time a spectacular show of this scale has been staged in Australia.'
Last week, I went into the City of Sydney to view firsthand the spectacular VIVID SYDNEY, a festival of light, music and ideas. Vivid Sydney runs from 24 May – 10 June 2013.
This is one of my images I shot at our famous Darling Harbour; a beautiful fountain and aquatic display with pretty colors and lights, just one of the many changing scenes of the amazing Vivid Aquatique, part of the Vivid Sydney festival. It was so colorful and bright and beautiful to view, accompanied with music. The fountains would rise and fall with varying colors making a spectacular show enjoyed by the huge crowds.
About Vivid Sydney: Colouring the city with creativity and inspiration, Vivid Sydney highlights include the hugely popular immersive light installations and projections; Vivid Aquatique immersive water theatre; performances from local and international musicians at Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House and the Vivid Ideas Exchange featuring public talks and debates from leading global creative thinkers.
Hundreds and Thousands

We all have memories of sugary sweet, colourful "Hundreds and Thousands" from our childhood.
A canopy tunnel of light arcs over viewers as they walk through, surrounded by masses of tiny individually controlled lights that look like pixels on a computer, to bring back your childhood memories of hundreds and thousands.

un pensamiento que deviene del círculo, es el ciclo,
lo que vuelve, lo que está en proceso,
el movimiento y su infinitud.
nada es permanente, nada está completado, nada es perfecto,
sobre todo la fragilidad de nuestra percepción de la luz.
¿cuándo algo deja de ser lo mismo volviéndose otro?
rotomotondo es una instalación compuesta por una pintura sobre la que se proyecta luz animada y música.

Bucky Bulb is an oversized, traditionally shaped light bulb made of a self-supporting criss-cross geodesic structure refined by Buckminster Fuller, hence the name Bucky.
The structure is made from tubes lit by LED lights at the junctions that cause the bulb to glow.

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.”

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.

May 23 - 9 June 2014
A 3D-mapped projection transforms the façade of Customs House into a series of massive ‘musical sculptures’, in a poetic explosion of light, colour and sound. Each of these ‘sculptures’ depicts a family of musical instruments which you can ‘play’ in real time. Take your place in front of throngs of festival-goers and create a visual and sonic masterpiece on the face of this iconic Sydney edifice. Vivid Sydney is delighted to welcome back Danny Rose, the design team that last year created an extravaganza of colour and light on the façade of Customs House, with Move Your Building. This year, the team again transforms the frontage of this historic landmark to bring you Play Me! , another breathtaking, interactive, 3D-mapped projection. You select one of the ‘musical sculptures’ from a touch screen, get onto a platform in front of Customs House and ‘play’ the sculpture, bringing it to life in glorious torrents of ever-changing colour, light, form and sound.

Vivid Sydney is a unique winter festival of light, music, and ideas.
Vivid 2015 will run from the 22nd of May until the 8th of June 2015.
Heart of the City: Artists: Anaisa Franco
Collaborators: Aravinth Panchadcharam (India) / Nabhila Faetti (Brazil) / Annie McKinnon (Australia) / Farshad Fahimi (Iran)
The Heart of the City is designed to be both a public artwork and a catalyst for interaction between people. Its undulating sculptural form includes areas in which viewers can take a seat and (quite literally) share with others what is in their heart. This is initiated when participants touch a pulse sensor that detects the rhythm of their heartbeat and responds by channelling a display of pulsating coloured light that illuminates the sculpture. When the sensor is left untouched, The Heart of the City reverts to its own illuminating rhythm.

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 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.

Evolution is a light installation that showcases how the humble household light bulb has changed over the last hundred years.
A giant light bulb envelops a spiral filament made up of 32 individual lamps. At one end of the filament, energy is wasted through the warm tungsten filaments of yesteryear; at the other end, you can experience the cool white efficiency of the latest LEDs.
You can compare and contrast the light sources by using a nearby touch-screen to select which lamps are illuminated. Your visual experience is enriched by access to live data on the power consumption, luminance and colour temperature of the lamps, so you can learn about the changing effectiveness and efficiency of the light bulbs we have used over the last decades.
When the touch-screen is idle, pre-programmed illumination sequences perform a compelling lightshow.

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.
