This post is celebrating Vivid Sydndey. Vivid Sydney is an annual festival of light, music and ideas, held in Sydney, Australia. It includes outdoor immersive light installations and projections, performances by local and international musicians, and an ideas exchange forum featuring public talks and debates with leading creative thinkers.
This event takes place over the course of three weeks in May and June. The centrepiece of Vivid Sydney is the light sculptures, multimedia interactive work and building projections that transform various buildings and landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge in and around the Sydney central business district into an outdoor night time canvas of art.
More details on history of Vivid Sydney, in the excerpt from wikipedia, in italics, below:
Vivid began as a smart light festival in 2009 for energy efficiency curated by lighting designer Mary-Anne Kyriakou and headlined by Brian Eno.[2] Eno, in collaboration with lighting designer Bruce Ramus,[3] projected ‘light painting’ onto both sides of the Opera House. The Festival was championed by Kyriakou,[2] Anthony Bastic,[2] Mike Day, Davina Jackson, Carolyn Grant and Barry Webb.[who?] As of May 2019, it was the biggest festival of lights, music and ideas in the world. It is owned, managed and produced by Destination NSW, the State Government’s tourism and events agency.[4] In 2019 a record 2.4 million people attended.[5]
The 2020 event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] In 2021 Vivid was first scheduled for 6–28 August,[6] it was then postponed to September due to the Delta outbreak and lockdown in Sydney. It was finally cancelled on 6 August.[7][8]

Across countless cultures and centuries, the four elements are opposing forces that make up all life, representing the raw power and alchemic equilibrium of our planet. From the big bang to the natural world as we know it, this breathtaking show celebrates these elements – fire, air, water and earth – combining spectacular 80 metre water shooters, flames, projection and pyro technics – making it more than an essential stop on the Light Walk: it’s elemental. Australians know the power of the elements first-hand, with fire and water causing havoc across the country in recent years. Unbalanced, these forces can be destructive, but when in harmony, they are essential to the world’s cycles of renewal. But it’s not just the environment that craves this balance, as recent years have proved, our individual connection to nature is intrinsic to our wellbeing: a fact that First Nations people have lived by for 60,000 years. Elemental takes us on a journey from the origins of our planet, through the ages that have defined our land and waterways and delivers us to the world we call home. Jaw dropping effects mix with an original soundtrack to showcase the awe-inspiring and magical moments created when these four elements are at work. Elemental inspires us to restore balance to both ourselves and our world, naturally. Combining 80 metre water shooters, flames, projection and pyro technics over Cockle Bay – this 10 minute water-show is an essential stop on the Vivid Light Walk. Catch the spectacular installation every half hour between 6pm and 11pm during Vivid Sydney, in the video published on June 4, 2023, by Coastal Coves, as “Vivid Sydney 2023 – Darling Harbour Delight: The Spectacular Elemental Show | 4k“, below:
