This interactive lighting installation was located in First Fleet Park at The Rocks, near Circular Quay, during the Vivid Sydney festival. “Immersion” was created by Australia’s Martin Bevz and Kathryn Clifton. People were able to move around the LED tube lighting, reflecting their movement through the installation via a live video relay of still and dynamic images.
“First Impressions” is a sculpture located in Playfair Street in The Rocks, and created by Bud Dumas in 1979. This sandstone relief is a memorial to the convicts, soldiers and settlers who made up the original settlement at The Rocks. The side of the sculpture shown here features “The Settlers”.
