Where to go, eat and stay during Vivid Sydney

Capture trees in a new way with this mesmerising display of nature’s hidden geometry. Watch as a hypnotic projection, inspired by nature’s hidden mathematical codes, slowly moves across a series of eucalyptus trees.

This expansive circular structure welcomes you to snap a picture of the ritualistic mating dance of the Brolga, which is projected onto a transparent surface making it appear to float in the air. Let your imagination take flight, with your feet firmly planted to the ground.

This commanding 15-metre-tall installation with glowing lights and reflective surfaces mirroring its surroundings is the perfect opportunity if you want to capture a different and interesting perspective.

This captivating and thought-provoking installation, featuring over 4000 solar-powered LED candles, is sure to inspire you to take a photo or two. Approach this humbling work, take in its beauty, its gravity and ponder the strength of the human spirit.

 

We often shy away from engaging with strangers in public spaces, Chairwave is here to change this. Its innovative, kinetic, and illuminated seating system invites spontaneous interactions and authentic connections between individuals. See how.

You and your friends can experience a light show like no other at Horizon - a hypnotic installation with trance-like sound and strobing lights that play with your spatial perception and offer a glimpse beyond everyday reality.

Every weeknight between 6pm - 7pm, kick back with a drink and watch as the brightest minds dissect and debate the breaking stories of the day. You'll have the opportunity to engage with these writers, journalists, ex-politicians, social commentators, artists and academics as each discussion will be followed by an interactive Q&A with the audience.
