Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, statues

 This artwork is located along the Circular Quay East foreshore, as part of the Vivid Sydney festival which ends tonight. "Positive Attracts" is created by Singapore artist Edwin Cheong. These life-size light statues have infra red sensors to detect when people are in close range and trigger changing rainbow LED lighting effects. Each one is named after a real life hero which visitors can guess from a famous quote at the base of each statue.

    Lovely. It seems to rain every year for this festival. This year I decided to watch the forecast and if it looked like it would be dry to go after work.

    They look vibrant and I think making them interactive is a great idea. Beautifully captured too.
