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.

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.

Turned on by the wolves and bears who were guiding him, the lad manages to escape on his faithful reindeer Kangi, hotly pursued by the ravening beasts and the Winter King who, it turns out, eats small boys. At the last moment he meets a priest and is saved by the redemptive power of baptism. The coming of Christianity seems to be linked to the banishment of old Winter Darkness and the return of the sun.
Crepuscular Beam by lighting designer Paul Collison was an installation in Melbourne’s Alexandra Gardens that sent beams of ever morphing light far into the night sky, creating a magnificent and dwarfing visual beacon that stood out against the night sky. The installation was visible from afar as the beams reach for kilometres into the night. The installation was accompanied by a soundtrack by Russell Goldsmith.
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.

"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.

This year, Vivid LIVE has commissioned award-winning international artists 59 Productions to create a new projected artwork for the sails of the Sydney Opera House, Vivid LIVE’s most public event. Lauded for developing ‘the most sophisticated use of film in the theatre to date’ (Metro) and creating ‘an entirely new art form’ (The Guardian), 59 Productions will now take the iconic building on a dramatic journey through time – from the birth of architecture and civilization through to the pinnacle of human and technological achievement.

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.

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.

Move Over Damien: Artist: Alan Rose
Move Over Damien is a cheeky take on UK artist Damien Hirst’s ‘spot paintings’ (to date numbering more than 1400), which feature grids of static, coloured dots in random and seemingly infinite variations. Australian artist Alan Rose has updated Hirst’s concept, making it 3D and kinetic by adding light, movement, complex patterns and music.
A 7.9-sq-m grid of LED lights creates a canvass of coloured spots. However, as the viewer passes along the work, the spots continuously change colour and shape, moving from round to oval forms. When viewed close up, the dots have hints of diagonal light and seem to be assembled randomly, but when seen from other perspectives they appear as rows of octagonal patterns.
The piece is accompanied by minimalist music composed by Sherman Tang. The artist’s aim is to suspend the viewer between order and chaos and in doing so create a moment of prolonged contemplation.

Digitalis is conceived as a genetically-modified breed of toxic plant Digitalis Purpurea.

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.

Join the Rolling Rebellion for Real Democracy at RollingRebellion.org
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IF you treasure the self-evident, endowed by creator, unalienable rights which the Declaration of Independence celebrated and promised this new country would uphold;
IF you abhor corporations claiming those unalienable rights as "corporate persons;" and think billionaires manipulating elections with their wealth is corrupting our democracy to the core;
THEN you probably agree that it is time to tap into the United States' revolutionary roots and in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence instigate a nonviolent American Revolution against oligarchic rule.
All across America, from New Hampshire to California, We the People are beginning to rise up in an autonomous, nonviolent, and rolling rebellion for real democracy. The Backbone Campaign, Popular Resistance, and other
allies have created Rolling Rebellion for Real Democracy with an action map and activist toolkits to bolster this burgeoning US Democracy Movement.
From the night of July 4th - July 12th, we are supporting a series of non-violent, artfully rebellious events around the country to get money out of politics, showcase the emergent US Democracy Movement, and spur on its escalating fight for real democracy. Check our action map to join a Rolling Rebellion action near you, or sign up to host your own.
Rebellion is a muscle that must be exercised!

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.
