This animated sculpture was suspended above the Circular Quay foreshore at the Overseas Passenger Terminal for the Vivid Sydney festival. “The Light Wheel” was created by Australia’s Andre Kecskes and Mark Hammer. It is a play on the sun as the source of light, with LED lamps creating a mass of moving patterns which cycle through the colour spectrum with pulses and ripples throughout the evening. The sculpture runs entirely off one 10 amp outlet.
The Garrison Church at Millers Point is one of many buildings that has been lit up around the city for the third annual Vivid Sydney festival which this year runs from 27th May to 13th June.
These artworks, located along Argyle Street at The Rocks and Millers Point, are part of the Vivid Sydney festival. “Web of Light” (top) created by Ruth McDermott and Ben Baxter hangs above two buildings at the entrance to Cambridge Street. It highlights the beauty and mystery of a spider’s web using around 1000 chandelier crystals to refract natural and artificial light to mimic water droplets on a web. “Eye See You” (bottom) created by German artist Zymryte Hoxhaj is located in front of the cliffs of Observatory Hill. Coloured lights reflect off more than 300 handmade, printed puppets who watch you with their giant eye.
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.
Circular Quay and the Sydney skyline illuminated for the annual Vivid Sydney festival which runs until this Monday night. These are just some of the colours featured in “Skyscraper Illuminati” created by 32 Hundred Lighting but there are also quite a few animated designs this year which are difficult to photograph. This view is from the Overseas Passenger Terminal looking towards the Circular Quay ferry wharves and Circular Quay railway station, rising up to the city skyscrapers.
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.
