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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

When you look at the horizon, your observations can be distorted by light. Similarly, light can warp our perception of time. Viewed from afar, time appears to be linear; the reality is often something completely different.
Cleft is an optical enigma exploring the timeline of our local history. Distorted by light, a central line slices through a series of angled boxes. It forms a changing and jagged illusion, manipulating the horizontal axis, and revealing a finer grain of detail within each cleft. These details are a palimpsest containing ambiguous, reworked references to the history and architecture of Sydney Cove, interwoven with each other and defying the linear nature of history.

From Circular Quay, past the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Sydney Opera House.
Harbour Lights turns the waters of Sydney Harbour into a light spectacular, with many vessels moving across the water in a gentle, synchronised lighting display.
City Sparkle is 32 Hundred Lighting’s vast symphony of light beams that plays across the skyline, dazzling Sydneysiders and visitors alike. This year, the light show incorporates 62 pillars of light and interactive sequencing. Fifteen giant Aquabeams shine from the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge along with innovative ‘sparkle points’ of LED tubes that illuminate the arch and road deck. To complement this beacon, light beams from atop Bennelong Apartments, Overseas Passenger Terminal and Cahill Expressway, with ‘sparkle points’ on 18 separate CBD building rooftops. Another 13 façades are saturated with colour. By linking Sydney’s landmarks, this luminous array offers an unmatched spectacle that can be experienced from vantage points near and far.

Birds of Lumos introduces us to ‘Rowi’ the kiwi and her baby chick; she wears sight-enhancing goggles — because unlike most nocturnal birds kiwi have very poor eyesight (although a keen sense of hearing and smell).
The artists, amigo and amigo (Simone Chua and Renzo B. Larriviere) have made these two little birds representative of the rare Rowi species of kiwi, and their work is a comment on the importance of conservation and the protection of wildlife.
As visitors gather around them, Rowi and her chick come to life – glowing and pulsating different colours through their light-globe bodies. If Rowi senses danger, she will go through a ‘charge’ sequence; her glow will dim for a few seconds to ‘charge up’ and then illuminate in an intense display of light.
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.

Some very large inflatable white rabbits, illuminated in stark white light, have invaded Sydney’s harbourside – however, it’s not exactly a scene from Godzilla. The bunnies of Intrude stand tall yet relaxed at 7m high and appear to be quite at home in their new patch.
Why rabbits?
These animals first travelled to Australia on the ships of the First Fleet and were brought ashore in cages in January 1788 at Sydney Cove – the very site of this installation.
Intrude references Australia’s cultural love affair with novelty 'Big Things' sculpture – Ballina’s Big Prawn, Goulbourn’s Big Merino and Coffs Harbour’s Big Banana, to name a few. And now, with Intrude, Vivid Sydney presents the Big Rabbits of Sydney.

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.

Lighting The Sails: Universal Everything
This year multi-disciplinary design collective, Universal Everything, has been chosen to create a projected artwork for the sails of the Sydney Opera House. Founded 11 years ago by UK creative director Matt Pyke, the bold, colour-friendly group has previously collaborated with Radiohead, Warp Records and on large-scale events such as the London 2012 Olympics. Playing with technology to invent new forms of design and moving imagery, Universal Everything has created a digital whirl of colour to be projected onto the sails of Australia's major artistic icon.
Their work will light the UNESCO World Heritage-listed sails of the Sydney Opera House.

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.
