~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
Lighting of the Sails: Metamathemagical
For the 10th Anniversary of Vivid Sydney, celebrated Australian Artist Jonathan Zawada will create a site-specific artwork that transforms the Sydney Opera House sails into a series of kinetic digital sculptures.
Jonathan Zawada’s concept for the installation explores metaphysical themes using imagery inspired by the Australian environment.

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.

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.

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.

University of Sydney
As Vivid Sydney transforms the city and its harbour into a colourful canvas of light, music and ideas, the University of Sydney - Australia's oldest university - is joining the festival for the first time.
Vivid Path to the Future, a collaboration between the University of Sydney and owners and managers of Vivid Sydney, Destination NSW, with the support of Finely Tuned, will see the University's iconic Quadrangle illuminated with artwork sourced from world-leading projection artists along with students, staff and members of the wider community. Some of this artwork will be Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander themed in celebration of National Reconciliation Week.
Backbone Campaign collaborated with Green For All to support the Sunrise Movement's campaign for a Green New Deal. Solidarity Brigades in seven cities deployed their spotlights to project messages on political offices (Pelosi's San Francisco office and the DC Rayburn House office building) and shopping districts in Seattle, Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Atlanta on the weekend before Christmas 2018.

Cycloide
by Alan Rose
Cycloide investigates the boundary between order and chaos.
Drawing heavily from minimalism and op art of the 60s, the geometric forms and repetition of the piece create subconscious order which is comfortable for the viewer, yet the moving colour and light is Rose’s way of disturbing the order with chaos.

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.

Fractal
Artist: Patrick Girdler (Australia)
Fractal is a light sculpture with mirror-like skin and a crystalline form that reimagines the relationship between the audience and the urban environment, presenting it in two ways: the concave and the convex.
Artist Patrick Girdler uses the work to explore concepts of duality: inward and outward; reflection and refraction; introspective, examining what is within, and ‘extrospective’, seeing what is outside yourself.
Fractal is simultaneously about the individual and the city and examines the complex relationship between the two. Through reflection and ‘re-presentation’ it asks the audience to consider this relationship in new and unfamiliar ways.

"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.
