Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, music and light

These artworks, located around Circular Quay and at The Rocks, were part of the Vivid Sydney festival. "Melody" (top) was created by Singapore's Sun Yu-Li. This free flowing ribbon form, beams light from inside its perforated stainless steel sculptural frame. It implies the rhyme of Sydney Harbour in Circular Quay and the music emanating from the Sydney Opera House as part of the magical precinct you are located in.  "aLf" or "artificial Light form" (bottom) was created by Australia's Victoria Bolton, Kim Nguyen Ngoc, Catherine Kuok, Guy Hanson. It is described as an artificial biomorphic entity that glows when you physically interact with him. He sleeps with a subdued blue pulse when he feels alone and when awakened by your presence engages in a visual conversation with a boisterous red pulse.

  2. Thought the ribbon was beautiful but it took ages to get a shot that didn't have people climbing all over it. The second one was really difficult to shoot, very dark most of the time. Well done.
