There’s a festival of events starting in Sydney this week called Vivid Sydney.

It includes:

Luminous, a music festival curated by Brian Eno
Fire Water, a firey spectacle on Sydney Harbour
Creative Sydney, a series of workshops and performances from the creative industries
Smart Light Sydney, a series of light installations around Circular Quay and The Rocks

It’s a bit like a yuletide Sydney Festival.

This piece was a nice spatter of rainbow colours

These pictures are from a preview of five of the Smart Light Sydney works. It opens properly tomorrow night with over a dozen spectacular light installations all a short walk from each other.

It’s like Sculptures by the Sea except it’s Light Sculptures by the Harbour.

This clever light installation is powered by cycle power

It beautifully lit up a fig tree opposite the Sydney Opera House

They make for great pictures, so if you’ve got a tripod, head down and practice your long exposures.

I’ll be back for more once the whole series is turned on.

People mill about gawking at the projections on the MCA

Projections on the MCA make it look even more art deco than usual

There’s some more of my Smart Light pictures and info about Vivid at Time Out Sydney.
