Arclight: Artists: Studio Workshop (Chris Knapp (Australia) / Jonathan Nelson (Australia)) + Matsys (Andrew Kudless (USA))
Collaborators: Bond University (Nathan Freeman (Australia) + Bollinger-Grohmann (Sascha Bohnenberger (Germany)) + Media Architecture Institute / UNSW (Matthias Hausler (Germany) / Eliot Rosenburg (Australia) / Rebekah Araullo (Australia) / Marius Hoggenmuller (Germany))
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.

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.

The Nautilus and the Sea, Artists: Ample Projects
Chatswood’s underwater light walk journey concludes at the forecourt of The Concourse building, where an environmental fantasy, designed for all ages, will reveal itself across the sails of the building.
The Nautilus and the Sea tells the story of Norbert the nautilus and his brave journey to find a new home. Trapped in a bleak world of discarded human refuse, Norbert lives in a homemade shell created out of lost objects. The surrounding environment is a stark, black and white underwater world fastidiously patrolled by Lieutenant Angler. Our hero breaks free, to embark on a perilous journey to discover a vast ocean, and a reef teeming with life.

May 23 - 9 June 2014
Artists throughout history have been inspired by the mystery of creation . The enigma of birth and death, of coming and going, and of the transformation embodied in both life and the passing of life have all been the foundation for intriguing works. Vivid Sydney continues this tradition with Mystery of Creation (Fragments of the Seasons).
This poem of light and sound is a visual and aural installation projecting nature's changes onto a concrete facade (Cadmans Cottage):
Flowers blossom, only to wilt; trees wither, only to grow anew. The wind whispers in the tree; its leaves embody alchemy in the transformation of living colour, from green into yellow and red; leaves dance and drop off in a storm; and once again you see a bare tree.
The installation is a profoundly natural, visual sanctuary that offers you an escape from the everyday urban challenges of Sydney. Dive into the here and now – where inspiration becomes light, light becomes image, and both combine with a mellifluous musical accompaniment to represent the cycle of the seasons.

Cadmans Cottage is the oldest surviving residential building in Sydney, having been built in 1816 for the use of the governmental coxswains and their crews. The building is heavily steeped in the history of Sydney, also claiming the title as the first building to have been built on the shoreline of The Rocks area.

Lighting The Sails: Universal Everything
This year multi-disciplinary design collective, Universal Everything, has been chosen to create a projected artwork for the sails of the Sydney Opera House. Founded 11 years ago by UK creative director Matt Pyke, the bold, colour-friendly group has previously collaborated with Radiohead, Warp Records and on large-scale events such as the London 2012 Olympics. Playing with technology to invent new forms of design and moving imagery, Universal Everything has created a digital whirl of colour to be projected onto the sails of Australia's major artistic icon.
Their work will light the UNESCO World Heritage-listed sails of the Sydney Opera House.

Submerged: Artist: Sinclair Park
Submerged illuminates the harbour waters around Campbell’s Cove jetty. The effect of light shining from under the water against the half-darkness and the silhouetted form of the jetty is mysterious and luminous. The artist’s aim is to bring awareness to viewers on the surface of the ‘unknowable void’ of the submerged – a world too often ignored or denied.

Lux Forma: Artists: Oliver Tanner / Dark House Production Design (Mark Dyson)
Lux Forma presents the organic form of an elongated wave, illuminated from within by a cascading sequence of colour.
The sinuous curve of the 10m-long structure is a complex, twisted metal design, engineered using the latest computer modeling, clad tightly with an outer skin and lit internally by a series of colour-changing LED strip-lights.
The lights change in a pre-programmed five-minute sequence producing a visually striking light sculpture that draws viewers into and along the elegant undulations of its form.

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.
