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.

2018 Light Night Leeds West Yorkshire UK (04-10-18 / 05-10-18)
Light Night Leeds is one of the UK’s largest annual arts and light festivals. Over two special nights the city centre is transformed by spectacular light projections, interactive artworks and captivating performances by local, national and international artists. On Light Night you will discover over 60 arts events across ten zones in the city centre; from large-scale light projections and interactive artworks, to music, dance and street performances. This year Light Night Leeds celebrates the themes of progress and innovation, kicking off with a vibrant illuminated parade celebrating 100 years of social change since (some) women got the vote.
The Leeds Library, one of the city’s hidden treasures, will be the backdrop for a celebration of Leeds suffragettes, Leonora Cohen and Mary Gawthorpe, and a fearsome and fiery dragon will be making an appearance on the Queens Hotel! So, bring your family and friends along to experience a fantastic festival atmosphere and see the city in a new light!
Craig Walsh's Monuments, in which sculptural portraits are projected onto trees on the banks of the Yarra river. This was an amazing, hypnotic work, with every twitch of a mouth and blink of an eye on the foliage captivating the crowd.
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

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.
The concept of Vision^(Reflection) is to showcase a large variety of objects, but present them in a completely different way to how they are usually perceived. The artists are particularly interested in exploring that space where vision and reflection collide.
The octagonal shape of the installation originates from the concept of Ba Gua (the Eight Diagrams), which is the arrangement of eight symbols that the ancient Chinese used to understand the rules of the universe and nature.
On the top and back façades, triangular reflectors are arranged geometrically to create crystal-like illumination effects by reflecting the light from LED strips. The front is an opaque PVC surface, on which animations are projected.
When audiences walk towards the installation, they see transitions of fragmented and twisted narrative images from their daily life and hear mysterious sound effects synchronised to the light effects and animation.

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.
Vivid Festival
Sydney, Australia.
2 Hours @ Vivid.
I usually visit the Vivid Festival a few times each year, but life kinda got in the way this year.
My mother had a stroke so my main focus was on helping her to recover.
I’d booked tickets earlier on in the year to watch Beth Orton perform at the Opera House.
So I took the opportunity to arrive a bit earlier for the gig & do a quick photoshoot @ Vivid.
I started off at Martin Place, then the ACM, Botanical Gardens, and finished up at the Opera House.
The festival is expanding and getting better each year.
However, the crowds are also increasing, which makes it a bit hard to photograph Vivid.
Everybody seems to want to get selfies in front of the installations these days.
Looking forward to next year.

Light of Thoughts

Collaborators:
PAK Lighting (China) / HUAWEI (China) / XIAOMI Yeelight (China)
Light of Thoughts is the physical embodiment of bright ideas. It’s a giant brain that sits waiting for participants to stimulate it and thus discover what happens during different types of thought processes.
The installation’s exterior is a brain-shape casing made from semi-transparent acrylic material; sitting adjacent to the brain is a control stand that is responsive to hand gestures made by participants.
Tapping the control will activate ‘thoughts’ that are transmitted into the brain via lighting cubes, which trigger changes to animations inside the brain
Vastitude explores concepts of ‘vastness’. Its simple architectural form hosts multidimensional displays that respond in real time to web-based interactions by users.
The exterior of Vastitude is a simple rectangular structure that hosts a complex three-dimensional grid of LED lights suspended inside parallel mirrors, creating the illusion of a deep, vast ‘field of lights’.
Users interact with the installation in real-time through a dedicated social media portal. When users direct their posts to the installation system, it will translate the user’s post into values that control the colour, speed and type of animation that will be displayed.

I was fortunate enough to be able put together a private shoot with the help of Luftwerk, Collaboration, and the Chicago Office of Tourism and Culture. The weather didn't want to cooperate with us at all, but the amazing team of people worked together and we had a great time. Collaboraction was great and took direction perfectly. I had a small window of time to make some shots and on long exposure images of this nature you really need as much time as you can get. I loved the motion blur we go from the light field by luftwerk and how the colors and shapes took flight from the ground as they moved around. This shot is a single image made by doing a very long exposure followed by an ending flash to freeze the subjects.
Strobist info: Camera right was one 39" deep octa single diffused and tilted as to avoid light spill. Inside it was a Ranger rx as that was triggered by skyport.

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.
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.

Culturescape - Katoomba,
Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
The Blue Mountains hosted its own mini Vivid Festival in October 2015 curated by Leura based animation and producer Tom Taylor.
The inaugural event was a success with over 2,000 people attending and was a very family-friendly night. There was also a mini night market.
Local band Grey Area provided some great ambient electronica soundscapes to compliment the stunning visuals.
The local community were also able to get involved by submitting artwork for the event which was highlighted by stunning lighting designs projected onto the facade of the Katoomba's grand ole dame - the Carrington Hotel.
Blue Mountains Cultural Centre director Paul Brinkman and Katoomba installation artist Susan Victor helped select which artworks to use, and Tom Taylor combined all of that into an animated sequence of events to be projected onto the Carrington Hotel by KFM Media.
Here's hoping this becomes an annual event.
The sculpture "Legs walking" by Leeds-born Kenneth Armitage was erected in City Square, Leeds outside Mill Hill Chapel.

There was a beautiful light projection on the south face of the Empire State Building on August 1, 2015. The display, called Projecting Change by Travis Threlkel and Louie Psihoyos, brought attention to the plight of endangered species. The lights on top of the Empire State Building also kept changing colors in concert with the light projection.
