"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.

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.

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.
Dreamscape inc. The Bridge
The Bridge
Artist: 32 Hundred Lighting: Iain Reed (Australia)
Dreamscape including The Bridge is the world’s largest interactive lighting display. It links the entire Quay precinct from the Sydney Opera House to the Sydney Harbour Bridge into one cohesive canvas of light.
This expansive and dynamic installation enhances buildings around Circular Quay with colour and texture; sets up a one-kilometre ‘line of light’ along the Cahill Expressway and beams 25 brilliant ‘fingers of light’ into the night sky from the roof of the Overseas Passenger Terminal.
The installation is a collaboration between lighting artist Iain Reed and event production company 32 Hundred Lighting. Key features of the installation are its accessibility and interactivity, enabling participants to control the colour, texture and pattern of lighting along the entire precinct.
The control hub for the installation is located in a perspex dome at Circular Quay and uses an extraordinary purpose-built 3D interactive model of the city skyline; participants simply touch the model to change the colours and patterns across the canvas of the buildings before them or to add their own sparkle to the eastern face of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

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!

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.

Sweep slowly moves with the breeze. When viewed from a distance this work provides the illusion of suspended light rods bobbing softly and gracefully from side to side, like a school of fish in a deep current; however, when viewed up close the effect is very different. Those walking through Sweep will feel confusion and a sense of intimidation as the large individual lights move ominously above and around them.
The installation comprises one hundred acrylic tubes, standing four metres tall and anchored in a custom-fitted base. Each stem has three sections of light implanted inside (all LED- controllable).
The artists have created the work as a comment on the difference between appearance versus and reality in modern society: although everyone appears to move together harmoniously, in reality people have their own views (represented by light) and feelings (represented by sound) and each person moves slightly differently from others.

Light Waves
Artists:
Indermühle + Indermühle: Aly Indermühle (Australia) / Balthasar Indermühle (Australia)
Light Waves is an electrifying curtain of brilliantly-coloured light that illuminates the harbour on cold winter nights. The rich vibrancy of light reminds us of the ever-present life that exists on, around and under Sydney Harbour.
Fuelled by nature and enhanced by modern technology, Light Waves provides an entertaining spectacle for visitors. The lights lie partially submerged in the moving water and appear to dance on the waves.
As tides rise and lower, reflections of spectral colour create an ever-changing effect of rhythmic light in the water below. Programmed through nanocomputing, the LEDs cycle through subtle changes as they move along the colour spectrum.
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.
