Affinity: Artists: amigo & amigo (Simone Chua & Renzo B. Larriviere ) + S1T2 (Chris Panzetta & Naimul Khaled)

Explore the mystery of our brains, where our most precious memories live.
Affinity is an ingenious large-scale lighting installation that attempts to depict the dazzling complexity and connectivity of the human brain. Participants step within an intricate web of interconnected orbs representing neurons in the brain. When stimulated by touch, the orbs set-up a striking display of sound and light, representing the rapid-fire transmission of messages between neurons.
The work was inspired by the electrochemical activity of the brain, in which 100 billion neurons fire impulses up to 200 times per second. The electrical signals that pass between neurons control everything we do and think. The sculpture explores the effects of Alzheimer's on our memories within this environment.
Those viewing Affinity arrive to find a web of darkened globes lying dormant except for a small, curious trail of light that bounces playfully between them. However, as participants touch each globe, colourful light streams flow outwards into the sculpture and link to another orb.

Robotanic: Artists: thomas+sebastian (Thomas Martin / Sebastian Barkoczy)
Collaborators: Jonathon Bolitho / Mark Bolitho / Felix Sheppard / Harry Hock / Richard Klein
Robotanic reminds us that in a world dominated by technology we should still take the time to tune our senses to nature. The interactive installation replicates the experience of a botanical garden and invites the audience to wander through and reconnect with the essence of the natural world.
The garden contains a series of organically shaped nodes with plant-like characteristics; they vary in height and shape and, anchored at their bases, appear to grow from the ground. When touched, the nodes produce an erratic display of light, and motion-sensors trigger sounds associated with nature, as if the environment is coming to life.
Artists Thomas Martin and Sebastian Barkoczy created the installation using advanced technology to make a statement about balance; whilst we can never return to a life without technology, it should not become all-consuming. ‘Switching off’ actually connects the senses to the simple enjoyments found in nature.

Now heading into its fourth year, Vivid Sydney was ranked in the Top Ten global ideas festivals by the influential Guardian newspaper in the UK.
Parallax
Artist: Benjamin Jay Shand (Australia)
Collaborator: Nicolas Locane (Australia)
Parallax is inspired by the qualities of stalactites cladding the upper limits of a cave ceiling. In nature, these geological formations are created by the precipitation of minerals present in water as they drip through caverns. Benjamin Jay Shand reinterprets these vertical formations by suspending translucent linear elements from a gridded lattice of engineered steel.
As they hang from the canopy above, a very slight horizontal movement complements the strong vertical elements of the sculpture. Each ‘stalactite’ also glows with an illuminated pulse.
Backbone collaborated with the Seattle Patagonia Store to train local activists in creative visibility tactics and the theory behind Backbone Campaign's artful activism. Teamwork!

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”).

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.

The Sev7nth Circle is a feminist sci-fi thriller about a young woman named ROO (age 23) and an ancient society of women called the Sev7nth Circle. The story unfolds via Instagram and a website (sev7nthcircle.org) and will include real world “events.” Chapter one is about the lost and erased women of science, who will be revealed, at the end of ROO’s quest to open a secret portal.

Arclight is an architecturally designed, environmentally inspired structure that echoes the native mangroves of Australia’s waterways. Through its complex geometry and architectural form, Arclight creates a dense thicket of clustered synthetic branch structures which incorporate interactive lighting technology programmed to interpret environmental conditions.
The project exploits experimental and cutting-edge architectural approaches: computer-aided manufacturing created by advanced fabrication methods, and computational software which provides designers with the digital tools to make buildings both complex and sustainable.
Arclight creates an immersive atmosphere of sculptural, bio-inspired forms that is intensified with LED lights programmed to interpret ambient and environmental phenomena (such as temperature, wind speed, and humidity), which are sensed and expressed via patterns and colours emitted by LED cells.
