Midden is an installation created by Eness, an award winning Melbournian art and design business, for the 2014 Melbourne White Night festival. Illuminations in a vibrant spectrum of colours were projected onto a 150 cubic metre mound of gravel. Midden pays homage to the traditional owners of the land on which Melbourne now stands. A midden is a dump for domestic waste (from early Scandinavian; Norwegian: mødding, Danish: mødding, Swedish regional: mödding) and middens were created around Australia by the Aborigines.
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.
In a watershed moment for Vivid LIVE, Australia’s own creative innovators The Spinifex Group will take to the Sydney Opera House sails with a newly commissioned artwork, “PLAY”, transporting audiences through a playfully projected journey that will celebrate Vivid Sydney’s light, music and ideas in an immersive new way.
Sydney is once again transformed into a spectacular canvas of light, music and ideas when Vivid Sydney takes over the city after dark from 24 May – 10 June 2013.
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 Vivid Ideas Exchange featuring public talks and debates from leading global creative thinkers.

The Museum of Contemporary Art (abbreviated MCA) in Sydney, Australia is an Australian museum solely dedicated to exhibiting, interpreting and collecting contemporary art, both from across Australia and around the world. It is housed in the Art Deco-style former Maritime Services Board Building on the western edge of Circular Quay. This area was the traditional lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation.
The museum was opened in 1991 and from 2010 underwent a $58 million expansion and re-development, fully reopening as the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia on 29 March 2012.

24th May 2014, I went into the City of Sydney to view firsthand the spectacular VIVID SYDNEY 2014, a festival of light, music and ideas. This image is one of my long exposure photographs of the bright and colorful projections of light and patterns on the Museum of Contemporary Arts building. These colorful projections were continuously changing making this building a real piece of art.
Coloring 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.

The Geodesic dome is a unique structure first attempted after World War 1, the mathematics and construction of which were then formalised by Buckminster Fuller after World War 2. The otherworldly forms created are both organic and geometric, and are like no other device of modern construction. Through the Geodesic Light Dome, Vivid Sydney invites you to explore a new take on a modern icon of design. With new fabrication technology and lighting possibilities, this classic structure has been redesigned to emphasise the planes and facets of the sphere and create a unique visual installation experience.

We're Winning in the Fight Against NW Fossil Fuel Foolishness!
"All across the state people are protesting a proposed coal export terminal"- KHQ TV News Station
"Environmentalists and other opponents of the terminal, many of whom were dressed in red T-shirts, dominated public testimony before a crowd of about 400."- Spokesman Review
If Earned Media is any indication of of where we stand in the fight for climate and environmental justice and a sustainable future against coal exports, than the tide has turned in favor of activists and the communities we strive to protect. The coal export battle is truly being fought in the court of public opinion. Giant-sized sympathetic visuals conveying the values we stand for and what threatens them, and an engaging experience that helped communities feel a sense of shared power were all prominent in the earned mainstream media coverage in Spokane that included two television spots and the front page on their local paper. The iconic imagery resonates so well that those in a position to decide the regulations and even the coal export proponents were enamored with it, excited, and joyful as they took pictures of and with it. We're grateful to our supporters through whose support we're able to make sure this critical flank of the fight is present to amplify, inspire, and build engagement. If you are long to be a part of vibrant community working to bring the world in closer harmony with your values, than join Backbone Campaign, our allies, and collaborators to build a powerful progressive movement.
Special thanks is owed to Spokane Coalition Builders, and Occupy Spokane whose dedicated engagement in their community and continued collaboration have helped to reinvigorate engagement in the NW. The Power Past Coal Coalition and Sierra Club have dedicated a ton of resources and energy to mobilize the community to speak out at the hearings, with many other community members from across the state and beyond sharing their talents and gifts to make Fossil Fuel Foolishness a thing of the past.
Backbone and allies like IVAW, GodePink and more utilized creative tactics to grab the media's attention and make our shared values more visible at the opening of the Bush presidential library and policy institute.
An administration whose failed policies and warmongering doesn't deserve a memorial, the fact that people laugh at the idea of a Bush Library is a testament to their folly. The Bush Lie-Bury is a reverse memorial to the 8 years (a following wake) of fallen lives and squandered opportunities that has led this country down such a terrible path.
By day, activists used bobble-head paper mache puppets rendered in the likeness of Bush, Cheney and the rest of his gang to force Dallas police to arrest them, giving us a cathartic if only symbolic relief. At night, activists agitated and inspired onlookers with light projections in downtown Dallas affirming and making our values visible. The creative tactics utilized earned the attention of the media who has largely ignored objections to the memorial.

The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centers in the world.
The Sydney Opera House is on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the north-eastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and inland by the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Peloton consists of a series of bicycle helmets, hanging from suspension wires and illuminated by LED lights. The lead pack of helmets contains a motion sensor that prompts ‘the peloton’ to oscillate in a wave-like movement, symbolising the fluid, undulating motion of the chasing pack.
A peloton – the word used for the main group of cyclists in a race – can quickly and efficiently respond to climatic conditions by stretching out when riding into a headwind, or by forming echelons in a crosswind. This efficiency allows for greater distances to be covered at greater speeds through constant recycling and regeneration of the lead pack.
As a metaphor for society, where multiple and varied entities are engaged in a common journey, the peloton illustrates the advantages of collaboration and understanding. Everyone needs to take their turn at the head of the pack for the benefit of those in pursuit, knowing that these riders will in turn do the same for them.

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.

As the much-talked-about centrepiece for the final float of the 2014 Sydney Mardi Gras Parade, MirrorBall Heart is an artwork that’s already won the hearts of tens of thousands of Mardi Gras Parade revellers.
This endearing piece – that comes to life through 12,000 hand-laid mirrors and a detailed LED light system – was inspired both by the stage revival of Strictly Ballroom, Baz Luhrman’s sublimely over-the-top hymn to the camp world of competitive ballroom dancing, and the old Hispanic proverb at the production’s heart: ¡Vivir con miedo es como vivir a medias! (“A life lived in fear is a life half-lived”).

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.

This Friday evening protest at Camberwell Junction featured slide projections and had over 100 people attending. It was held near the office of Josh Frydenberg, the Liberal MP for Kooyong and the Environment and Climate Change Minister in the Turnbull Government. He needs to step up and stop the Adani Carmichael coal mine from being developed as it is inconsistent with Australia's ratification and commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement to keep temperatures well below 2C temperature target. 95 per cent of Australia's coal must remain unexploited to be consistent with limiting temperatures to 2C according to a 2015 peer reviewed study by Ekins and McGlade

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.

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.

Backbone and allies like IVAW, CodePink and more utilized creative tactics to grab the media's attention and make our shared values more visible at the opening of the Bush presidential library and policy institute.
An administration whose failed policies and warmongering doesn't deserve a memorial, the fact that people laugh at the idea of a Bush Library is a testament to their folly. The Bush Lie-Bury is a reverse memorial to the 8 years (a following wake) of fallen lives and squandered opportunities that has led this country down such a terrible path.
By day, activists used bobble-head paper mache puppets rendered in the likeness of Bush, Cheney and the rest of his gang to force Dallas police to arrest them, giving us a cathartic if only symbolic relief. At night, activists agitated and inspired onlookers with light projections in downtown Dallas affirming and making our values visible. The creative tactics utilized earned the attention of the media who has largely ignored objections to the memorial.
