The Vivid Syd­ney Fes­ti­val is described by the orga­niz­ers as a “the largest cel­e­bra­tion of light, music and ideas in the South­ern Hemi­sphere“.

This year’s edi­tion took place dur­ing 25 May and 11 June 2012 and begun with no less than 60 light instal­la­tions, includ­ing the “light­ing” of the iconic sails defin­ing Syd­ney Opera House. Accord­ing to offi­cial sources, a global field of artists from coun­tries includ­ing France, Poland, Hong Kong, Scot­land, USA, Brazil, Sin­ga­pore, New Zealand and Aus­tralia will use Syd­ney as a play­ground for their inter­ac­tive and low-energy light art dis­plays. The fes­ti­val is expected to attract 500 000 peo­ple in the region, tak­ing part of 100 cre­ative indus­try events, from var­i­ous art per­for­mances to musi­cal concerts.The video below cap­tures a dra­matic pro­jec­tion on the sails of Syd­ney Opera House, watched by thou­sands of art enthu­si­asts, lined on the shores of Syd­ney Harbor.

Enjoy the show!
