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.
Flinders Station party style! White Night 2014
The main station building, completed in 1909, is a cultural icon of Melbourne, with its prominent dome, arched entrance, tower and clocks one of the city's most recognisable landmarks. It is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
In 1899, a design competition was held with 17 entires. The £500 first prize went to railway employees James Fawcett and HPC Ashworth of Fawcett and Ashworth in 1899, whose design named Green Light was of French Renaissance style, and included a large dome and tall clock tower.
The Melburnian idiom "I'll meet you under the clocks" refers to the row of clocks above the main entrance, which indicate the time-tabled time of departure for trains on each line.

In her emotionally charged Vivid Light debut, Sydney-based artist Claudia Nicholson has created a romantic homage to her birth country of Colombia. Nicholson engages with Latinx cultural traditions, remixing them with pop culture references and brand identities to explore her complex transnational heritage.
Lighting of the Sails: Audio Creatures
(Artistic Inspiration and Direction by Ash Bolland, Music by Amon Tobin, Visual Content & Animation by Spinifex P/L Sydney.)
Tableaux that evoke the pulsing sea creatures, eye-searing bird-plumage and iridescent plant life of an organo-mechanistic future are projected onto the Sails of the Sydney Opera House.
"The distinctive two storey classical revival building, with central mansarded clock tower of two levels, and unusual pedimented end pavilions featuring fan-shaped glazing is one of the few grand-scale symmetrical town hall design in Victoria, and reflects the civic pride of the Ballarat citizens of the 1860s, and their vision for the future.
The design, which resulted from an architectural competition in 1868, is interesting and unusual work of three architects - the exterior by JJ Lorenz, the interior by local architect HR Caselli, and the final overall composition by Ballarat Borough architect Percy Oakden, who merged the incompatible designs of Lorenz and Caselli into a whole. Oakden later moved to Melbourne, entered partnership with architect Leonard Terry, and became one of Victoria's influential 19th century architects. The building was erected by William Cowland.
The Town Hall is believed to be one of the only three such buildings in the world equipped with bells. The eight 'Alfred Bells' in the clock tower, weighing four and a half tons were purchased to celebrate the arrival of Prince Alfred following an attempted assassination. (The Prince visited Ballarat in 1867).
The fact that part of the ground floor street frontage was rented for commercial purposes is particularly unusual in a town hall building. Indeed, the last major tenant, the Commercial Bank of Australia Ltd who vacated the building in 1965, occupied the Armstrong Street corner for 97 years.
The existence of the unfinished 1860 town hall (designed by CO Cuthbert and built by Evans and Barker), incorporated into the eastern extremity of the present building, the former police court, and the cells beneath the building demonstrate a changing sequence of usages and functions over time. The 'trench room', which occupies part of the former court room has a strong historical associated with the First World War, because it was there that parcels were assembled for dispatch to troops in the trenches.
Although much of the building has been extensively modernised, the elaborately decorated skylight stair hall and the mayor's room and adjoining council chamber, complete with the original 1860s chamber furniture, are intact. The building is enhanced by having retained its natural cement render external finish as well as the stone dressings at ground floor level."

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 Sydney Opera House. These colorful projections were continuously changing making Sydney Harbour look like a piece of art.
Many of the ferries also had colorful lighting which just added to the bright and happy atmosphere created by this festival.
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 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.
There were musical performances at the NYSE last night for their Christmas Tree lighting. The song here is performed by Sophie Simmons.

Upon my visit to Vivid Sydney, June 2015, I also captured some images of "Enahanted Sydney", the amazing projections of Sydney's flora, fauna and nature on the facade of the iconic Customs House at Circular Quay. It was such a pretty display with lovely music..... I wish I had captured a video of it also to show its beauty.
====================
Enchanted Sydney projects free-flowing images of Sydney’s flora and fauna onto the iconic facade of Customs House. The artwork mixes familiar (and not so familiar) aspects of Sydney’s natural environment to create a continually evolving and blossoming world.
The projections are fitted specifically to the architectural form of the building, using graphics that integrate natural imagery with textures and colours that are reflective of the city in all its moods and seasons.
The artists’ intent is to remind audiences of the organic nature of the city and the enchantment of natural design.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Customs House, Circular Quay, Sydney
The Customs House is an historic Sydney landmark located in the city's Circular Quay area. Constructed initially in 1844-1845, the building served as the headquarters of the Customs Service until 1990. Ownership was then transferred from the Commonwealth Government of Australia to the City of Sydney Council in 1994, when it became a venue for exhibitions and private functions. After being refurbished in 2003, it has also become the new home of the City of Sydney Library.
The ground floor of the building houses a 4.2m x 9.5m scale model of Sydney's CBD, viewed through a glass floor. The model was built by Modelcraft in 1998 and weighs one tonne. Images of the various versions of the building across its history are also displayed on the ground floor.

Waratah
Artists: Sarah Harvie (Australia) / Dylan Tonkin (Australia) / Christopher Page (Australia) /
Anthony Zeater (Australia)
Waratah is a unique tribute to an iconic flowering plant. The majestic waratah is native to Australia and is the floral emblem of the state of New South Wales: it is difficult to cultivate and slow to mature, but flowers riotously in its native bushland setting.
To honour this extraordinary plant, the artists have created a huge inflatable light sculpture, rich in colour and beautiful by day; at night it opens out to give visitors a larger-than-life experience of the aesthetics of this magnificent bloom.
Chippendale's former Carlton Brewery site is being redeveloped by Frasers Property and Sekisui House, and the old brewery wall comes in useful again for Vivid. The theme of 'X Factory' seems to touch on Silicon Valley entrepreneur Martin Ford's book which expounds that as technology improves fewer people will be needed to run it.
At front is 'Silent Disco' which allows about 150 people to don headsets. The red blue and green headphones have different tunes but silent it's not when the crowd break into chorus 'Mickey you're so fine you blow my mind...'. It's mostly locals and students, couldn't spot a tourist, and on the last day of Vivid it's not busy at all :).
Nearby is the terrific Spice Alley, and restaurants include Automata which is former Momofuku Seiōbo sous chef Clayton Wells' first restaurant, backed by Singaporean hotelier and restaurateur Loh Lik Peng. The menu features a set menu of five dishes for $88 with matching wines for $60 and the seating is mixed communal style, some tables and bar seating. The food is progressive Australian with Japanese influence (excellent umagi and wagyu beef dishes and saki list) and it's a bit like Fitzroy's Cutler & Co. for style.
Seems like a good time to drop in Kraftwerk who performed at a previous Vivid (what else but 'We are the robots'?): www.youtube.com/watch?v=okhQtoQFG5s

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.
Skylark is a vast play of light stretching from the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay to the outer areas of Sydney Harbour.
Created by Iain Reed of 32 Hundred Lighting, Skylark incorporates interactive lighting of the bridge and Circular Quay skyscrapers.
