These light projections on Customs House at Circular Quay were displayed during the Vivid Sydney festival. “Unfamiliar Customs” was created by The Electric Canvas, transforming this sandstone building’s facade with a series of 3D-mapped animation sequences. The projections both celebrate and sometimes mock the iconic architecture in a playful creation reflecting its 160 years standing on the shore of Sydney Harbour.
This “Interactive Paint Projection” was displayed on the facade and sign of the Museum of Contemporary Art at Circular Quay, during the Vivid Sydney festival. It has been created by Australia’s Spinifex Group, in collaboration with The Electric Canvas and engages the general public. It uses interactive technology that interprets body movements to create colourful splashes, drips and spirals on the exterior of the museum. Two people standing in the foreground, with their shadows seen at the base of the light projection, move their bodies around to create a unique piece of art.
