Night Landscapes and VIVID 2010
Running from 27 May to 21 June 2010, Vivid Sydney brings together large scale light installations and projections, music performances, and creative ideas. I did a couple of posts last year for Vivid Sydney 2009 here and here and it returns in 2010. It once again featuring the lighting of the Sydney Opera House sails but not a bright or interesting as last years designs in my opinion, but worth seeing just the same. This event sees art and colour projected on to the iconic sails, transforming them into interesting harbourside artwork. This year they have also lit Macquarie Street from St Mary’s Cathedral down to the Hyde Park Barracks, Parliament House, the State Library and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. You can even follow this here on Twitter. You can walk from St Mary's towards circular quay past the Macquarie era buildings and the Royal Botanic Gardens to the Sydney Opera House.

Tuesday January 26th 2010
Australia Day, 26 January, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788. The tradition of having Australia Day as a national holiday on 26 January is a recent one. It was not until 1935 that all the Australian states and territories used the term Australia Day on this date. On Australia Day we celebrate what's great about Australia and being an Australian. It's the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of and to recommit to making Australia an even better place for the future. The logo represents ‘togetherness’ while respecting the diversity and distinctive nature of Australia’s people and landscape. The bold coloured ribbons convey dynamism of pride, spirit and celebration.

The lights are a little slow coming out this year or I'm a bit early. Anyway here is an abstract view of some Chrissy lights near home.

Quick Weekend Photography Project
Vivid Sydney runs from 26 May to 14 June, Sydney is host to this international music and light festival that showcases stories through light and sound with the use of innovative new ideas. The festival has transformed the city into a living canvas of light at the Sydney Opera House, The Rocks, Circular Quay and Sydney's city centre. Following this event there’s the Sydney Writers’ Festival, Sydney Film Festival, Sydney Design 09.
There are various light installations around 'The Rocks' including one (not shown) in which you have to peddle a bicycle that drives a dynamo that supplies light to some blue LED's that are strung around a tree.
An interesting effect on this wall above, it got a lot of attention from passers by and of the (at least three) wedding parties, while I was there, taking wedding photo's around The Rocks precinct.

The Sydney Opera house is lit up with projected art on the sails of the building. The artwork is by Brian Eno, the program called 'Luminous' is the lighting of the Sydney Opera House sails. These change every few minutes and are quite spectacular.
I found that this light show set-up in the rotunda on Observatory Hill had failed as the computers running the show had crashed. And yes! you guessed it, the operating system being projected onto the ceiling so the techies could fix this, shown above, was Microsoft Windows. They should have had it running on an Apple Mac, at least then it would 'just work'.
