Vivid Sydney
We decided to insert this into Illuminatus as a sub Galleria for 2010 to specifically mark the event.
Now a yearly Winter Festival we cannot do better than to paraphrase the Vivid Sydney Home Page .

“From large-scale light installations and projections through to music performances, ideas, creative summits and beyond, Vivid Sydney pulls out all the stops across every creative field. From art lovers and creatives through to families and first-timers to Sydney, everyone will find something illuminating about Vivid Sydney.”
It was also very cold and fingers hesitated over small camera buttons hidden on the back of even colder titanium and plastic bodies. Tripods and camera bags cluttered the image aficionados who trudged about in packs mumbling about ISO ratings and wondering if there was a toilet handy. The Pubs and the roadside market food stalls did a roaring trade.
Hoards of kids had free torches and ran from excitement to excitement and all too soon many were in arms as sleep took hold and batteries ran down..
We were on the Busses and a convivial and talkative crowd waited later as the timetable home inevitably fell apart under the strain.

Other Mate Maritimus has also been out on the cold night tiles and has contributed his take on the Vivid lighting. We will add some additional text to his images as time allows. Sufficient for now to say that he too is ambivalent on the use of textural material in the lighting layouts.
Enjoy.
