Glebe, Earth V Sky

"Earth V Sky" is an artwork created by Allan Giddy in Bicentennial Park, in the inner city suburb of Glebe. It involves the reflection of a spectrum of coloured light on two magnificent Moreton Bay fig trees, during sunset. The nine lights are powered by a nearby wind turbine and world-first technology continuously samples the colour of the sky and then inverts the colour of the evening sky. The lights fade in gently and subtly increase in intensity over an hour and fifteen minutes.

  12. Sheumack, I took this shot last weekend, about half an hour later than the time you posed your comment. Hopefully, you eventually saw the light show tonight.
