Vivid Light illuminates Sydney’s skyline with Lights On! from 6pm each evening. As the Lighting of the Sails unfurls across the architectural wonder of the Sydney Opera House, weave your way along the Light Walk around the harbour front and the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, and venture to Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, Luna Park Sydney, Chatswood and Taronga Zoo to brighten up your winter nights.

lighting of the sails vivid light walkThe famous Light Walk is one of Vivid Sydney’s hallmarks and “the reason people travel thousands of miles” (Forbes) to enjoy the festival. Every year, hundreds of proposals for light works are entered and the selected works represent a new breed of artistic innovators.

This year’s Light Walk curates over 50 radiant works into the largest outdoor gallery of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The route stretches for more than three kilometres, from The Rocks through the city’s oldest streets and laneways around Circular Quay to the Sydney Opera House and into the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, taking in major light projections on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) and Customs House along the way. Think of it as more of a ‘choose your own adventure’ than a prescribed trail, with an abundance of eateries, watering holes and break-away spaces where it is possible to relax and enjoy the spectacle from vantage points across the city.

Across Circular Quay from Sydney Opera House, the imposing deco façade of the MCA is transformed by award-winning Australian-Colombian artist Claudia Nicholson who, together with light veterans Spinifex Group, reimagines her vibrant artworks into Let Me Down, an animated cycle of creation, destruction and regeneration underscored by the cool and contemporary sounds of Lonelyspeck.

This year, Los Angeles-based Andrew Thomas Huang is the torch-bearer entrusted with the Lighting of the Sails. The Chinese American artist-filmmaker is admired as much for his sci-fi suffused art as for creating music videos for the likes of Björk, Sigur Rós and Thom Yorke in which bodies, objects and nature morph, intertwine and dispel in hallucinogenic fantasies.

Huang’s Austral Flora Ballet is a hypnotic tribute to Australia’s native plants. Together with choreographer Toogie Barcelo and the animation design team at Bemo in Los Angeles, Huang crafts a lush spectacle from such beloved floral gems as the New South Wales waratah, kangaroo paws and red beard orchids. The focus on indigenous species inspires the animated shapes, colour palette and textures in this magnificent opus.

Huang and Barcelo collaborated with dancer Genna Moroni to generate fluid arabesques in direct response to the sensuous arcs and rhythms of Sydney Opera House. By dancing on a motion capture stage in front of projected images of the building, Moroni’s choreography becomes a bespoke interpretation of the world-recognised silhouette.

The result is a ‘ballet’ of psychedelic floral deities that bloom with human movement across the sails of the Sydney Opera House. Huang’s new piece underscores the connection between the human body, architecture and the natural world through the lens of Australia’s botanical treasures.

vivid light walkThe southern pylon of Sydney Harbour Bridge features Eora: Broken Spear, a projection curated by Rhoda Roberts AO with work from the Art Gallery of NSW, the Australian Museum and the State Library of NSW. Customs House becomes an aquatic wonderland in Under the Harbour by Spinifex Group. Pixar Animation Studios partners with Vivid Sydney to transform Sydney’s iconic Argyle Cut in The Rocks with a creative light projection that will delight visitors of all ages as they are transported through a visual feast of behind-the-scenes artwork and the evolution of iconic animation. Who knows, Woody and Buzz Lightyear might even make an appearance! Meanwhile, 32 Hundred Lighting’s dancing beams of light and ‘sparkle points’ turn the Sydney Harbour Bridge and skyline into a jewel to outshine any regal tiara with City Sparkle.

These beacons are certain to inspire awe and the discoveries along the Light Walk are equally fascinating at different scales. Many of the light installations offer the opportunity for visitors to move through, around and under them so it is possible to experience next-level creativity up close. Others offer levels of tactility and interactivity that put you in control of the action, sound and lights. Photo opportunities and selfie moments abound. Vivid Sydney once again champions diversity and inclusion by partnering with Cushman & Wakefield to provide accessible infrastructure and facilities such as audio descriptions, accessible pick-up and drop-off zones, ramps and viewing stations that

make it possible for people of all abilities to have a wonderful festival experience.

Nature, childhood reveries, musical magic and retro-futures are major themes that emerge in 2019. Let It Snow, CyberDeluge, Nostalgia Above, River of Light and Dancing Grass all conjure the elements. Firefly Field mesmerises with an aerial ballet of tiny winged creatures while the birds come home to roost in Regal Peacock and Watch Your Chips. Habit/At, Ocean Sentinels, Torrent, Consumable and Rayuela encourage us to reflect on the environment and how our impact affects the future. Tap into the wonders of the cosmos and collective consciousness with The Light Teleportal Empyrean, KA3323, Celestial Pancake and Specularity. Kids and kids-at-heart will kindle memories with the Infinity Room, Bubble Magician, the slime-fest of Goo! at Cadmans Cottage and the exquisite Ballerina silhouetted against the shimmering harbour and skyline. Budding musos can play The Harp of the City, Torus, Jungle Boogie, FlipFlop and dance to the rhythms of light and sound. After taking in the city brightness, step into an enchanted forest. Weave your way through the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney for close encounters with illuminated artworks that reflect and refract both light and nature.

As you marvel at the works, take a moment to admire the artistry and innovation involved in creating each one. Now, imagine what your own future light sculpture might be. That combination of awe, appreciation and inspiration makes Vivid Light a truly enlightening experience.

Around First Contact, when the men carried their spears for the seasonal time to fish from the rocks and the Gadigal women used their handlines, singing, laughing with the children and rowing their Nawis across the harbour, all came to gather amongst the wisdom keepers. Some young men raised their spears in battle against the invaders, but our men of high degree stepped forward, with a different greeting for the visitors. Our knowledge keeper carried his spear but the tip was broken; the sign of peace and respect.

EORA: Broken Spear, curated by Rhoda Roberts AO with projection design by The Electric Canvas, reminds us all to reflect, to call country, to read country and listen to country. Everything across our city connects us to the harbour from the rivers that flow from the first contact point of Botany Bay and Kurnell, home to the Gweagal people, the Fire Clan, to the Kameygal, the spear clan of La Perouse and the east, to the inner West and the River Flat Clan, the Bidgigal, across the Wangal wetlands of Homebush to the Burramuttagal, the eel clan peoples, and finally all the waters flow to the Grass tree people, the Gadigal.

Museum of Contemporary Art AustraliaLET ME DOWNIn her emotionally charged Vivid Light debut, Sydney-based artist Claudia Nicholson has created a romantic homage to her birth country of Colombia. The commissioned work adapts four of Nicholson’s existing artworks, three sawdust carpets known as alfombras de aserrín and a floral arrangement known as a silleta. Collaborating with Spinifex Group, the rich cultural symbols Nicholson references are reimagined in an animated cycle of natural creation and destruction, set to music by producer Lonelyspeck.

Nicholson’s work has been widely exhibited, with recent exhibitions at Carriageworks, Sydney and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne. In 2017, she was awarded the NSW Visual Arts Emerging Fellowship.

EORA: broken spearCUSTOMS HOUSEUNDER THE HARBOURYou can ferry across it, marvel at its shimmering beauty and even swim in it, but how often do you dive into the emerald depths of Sydney Harbour? Using the architecture of Customs House as a canvas, award-winning creative studio Spinifex Group presents Under the Harbour, a surreal underwater encounter sure to delight children and adults alike.

Through Spinifex’s imaginative lens, a hyper-coloured multi-verse transforms the façade of Customs House. The watery world is alive with neon sea creatures, botanical wonderlands and unclassified oddities.

Under the Harbour is a playful, exquisite escape into an extraordinary underwater fantasy certain to inspire audiences and deepen the appreciation of Sydney’s aquatic haven.

Sydney Harbour BridgeCITY SPARKLE City Sparkle is a vast symphony of light beams that play across the skyline. In 2019, 32 Hundred Lighting crown Sydney Harbour Bridge with 15 giant Aquabeams, along with ‘sparkle points’ across the arch and road deck. To complement this beacon, light beams from CBD landmarks and rooftops, while others are saturated with colour. This luminous array can be experienced from vantage points near and far.

You’re invited into the ‘control room’ with its giant, 3D interactive tactile model of all the structures used in City Sparkle. Take your turn to create a unique show of glimmering colours, shining lights and magical memories.

CADMANS COTTAGEGOO!Remember Slime? That gloopy, squishy, stretchy, fluorescent green goo that had kids crazed in the 70s and 80s. It’s back and it has oozed out of those tiny green trash cans to fill Cadmans Cottage.

Goo! invites kids and kids at heart to play in a virtual fountain of multi-coloured, sticky slime and allows visitors to interact and direct the flow of fun. Manipulate human-size globs of floating goo. Splash in viscous pools of syrupy, clinging colour. Fling gelatinous blobs at one another, all without ever making a mess.

This custom built, real-time fluid simulation by PropMill cleverly transforms the heritage harbourside building into a slime-filled playground that everyone will love!

MODERN LOVE IN THE DIGITAL AGE Relationships are going through a complex cultural shift. Expectations on intimate partnerships are at an all-time high, while our tools for connection are quickly shifting with the digital age.

Renowned psychotherapist Esther Perel is one of the world’s most listened to and respected authorities on modern love and resolving conflict. Esther’s ground-breaking podcast Where Should We Begin?, allows audiences to tune in to recordings of couples in counselling, an act of intimacy and generosity that has earned her innumerable fans around the globe. Her books Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence and The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity are New York Times best sellers and her TED talks have garnered over 25 million views.

In 35 years counselling couples and families, Esther has discovered that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. With the macro lens of an anthropologist and

micro antennae of a therapist, she is perfectly attuned to the impacts that technology is having on human behaviour.

Join Esther on her first visit to Australia to investigate love, lust, our desire for connection and delicate matters of the heart through her unique lens. In this Vivid Ideas exclusive, she charts the tricky territories of infidelity, online dating, screen addictions and social media overuse as well as the challenge of simply being present.

After her keynote, Esther will be in conversation exploring ways we can all improve our interactions, connections, understanding and empathy. And yes, there’ll be plenty of time for your burning questions.

ON FILMS, POLITICS AND RACE How well do you know Spike Lee? You know his films. From She’s Gotta Have It (1986 and the 2017 Netflix Original TV series), Do the Right Thing (1989) and Jungle Fever (1991) to Malcolm X (1992) and Inside Man (2006), the African-American director and producer quickly established himself as a trailblazer of contemporary cinema and continues to cross cultural divides with each project. Spike’s 2018 hit BlacKkKlansman – the almost unbelievable true story of a black police detective infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan – achieved both critical and popular acclaim. This journey into “White America’s heart of darkness” (New York Times) won the Grand Prix du Jury at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2019 ACADEMY AWARDS®.

Spanning a 40 year career, Spike’s films are a potent cocktail of racial tension, urban violence and controversy sparked with comedy. As an oeuvre, they make as much of a contribution to politics as to pop culture.

Few directors are in possession of such daring cross-over into the mainstream. Fewer still attain cult status.

In this Vivid Ideas exclusive, which also marks his first time in Australia, Spike Lee reveals his celebrated body of work and personal views in conversation with Rhoda Roberts AO, one of Australia’s leading arts and festival producers, TV and radio journalist, and currently the Head of Indigenous Programming at the Sydney Opera House. With his trademark wicked humour, hear Spike talk candidly and with authority about issues of race in the media and Hollywood. Most of all, imagine what you can do with his insights on film-making that takes the message far beyond the screen into popular consciousness.

Wednesday 12 June: You Can’t Ask ThatABC TV’s hit show You Can’t Ask That asks groups of misunderstood, judged or marginalised Australians the awkward, inappropriate or uncomfortable questions you’ve always wanted to know the answers to, but always been too afraid to ask.

Afterwards the Jonathan Zwartz Lunar Module presents An Astronaut’s Playlist celebrating the music of space travellers as imagined by the Apollo 11 astronauts 50 years ago.

AMERICAN EXPRESS SAMSUNGSamsung is excited to join Vivid Sydney as a partner in 2019. They believe in making things that can’t be made, so you can do the things that can’t be done. The result of 10 years of pioneering mobile, Galaxy S10e, S10 and S10+ introduce the next generation of mobile innovation. No notch. No interruptions. The powerful new Galaxy S10 features a cinematic bezel-less screen to give you immersive viewing.

Shoot like a professional with their Pro-grade camera and count on a battery so powerful, it can charge others with Wireless PowerShare. Samsung will create a once-in-a-lifetime experience at First Fleet Park using some of the most exciting features of the Galaxy S10 to reimagine how you see Vivid Sydney.

American Express joins Vivid Sydney for the third time as a Vivid Sydney Partner and is delighted to continue its support of the largest festival of light, music and ideas in the Southern Hemisphere. They look forward to welcoming their Card Members to the American Express Lounge located at the Cruise Bar Rooftop on Level 3 of the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay.

getting around vivid sydneyPublic transport is the best way to get to all Vivid Sydney precincts and venues. Frequent trains, buses, ferries and light rail services will run throughout the 23 day festival with additional services on weekends when festival goers are expected to be at their largest. Some transport services will be affected by event road closures.

Remember to have an Opal card to tap on and off public transport services or you can use a major debit or credit card. Visit transportnsw.info for detailed service information and to plan your trip.
