As part of the Vivid Sydney festival, this bench has been installed on the Circular Quay foreshore, leading up to the Sydney Opera House. The artwork is called “C/C” and is created by Singapore’s Angela Chong. It is illuminated at night with low energy, colour changing LED lights. I thought it was worth photographing during the day because it has such a spectacular backdrop. It’s a shame the view was partly blocked by the hoarding around the escalators which are being repaired.

This lighting design artwork is hanging above Rocks Square, just off Playfair Street at the Rocks, as part of the Vivid Sydney festival. “Illuminate”, created by Daniel Mercer and Richard Neville, with highly efficient light sources using less power than the existing lights normally in the square. The 140 hanging tubes filled with individually controllable LEDs produce 9000 pixels of light, lighting the space with continuously changing colours and patterns.
These pylons and walkway at Circular Quay have been illuminated for the Vivid Sydney festival which runs until Monday night. “(B)right on time” was created by Tim Carr, Tim Hunt, Jo Black, Carter Leung and Mark Gilder. The bridge above carries the railway line to Circular Quay station and the Cahill Expressway sit above that. The vibrations of the trains coming and going above are synchronised with pulsating lights, varying the colour and intensity.
Cadman’s Cottage, was one of the heritage buildings that was lit up for the Vivid Sydney festival. The colourful and playful display of lights on the exterior of this museum, called “Cadman’s Playground”, was created by Steve Furzey and Kam Dahtt.
