Lighting the Sails

Smart Light Sydney

Smart Light Sydney will showcase dynamic light art sculptures using smart technology with a free Light Walk around Sydney's iconic harbour precinct from Sydney Observatory, around the Rocks and Circular Quay to Sydney Opera House.

This exciting new event, conceived by Sydney born lighting designer and composer, Founder and Artistic Director Mary-Anne Kyriakou, will also encompass the Art Light Exhibition and Smart Light Symposia at UTS and Licht, an orchestral and light art interpretation of composer Stockhausen's work at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

The Light Walk and Art Light Exhibition public art displays will showcase beautiful new works from light artists and designers at the cutting edge of design from around Australia and internationally, including legendary musician and multimedia artist Brian Eno and Australian design luminaries Warren Langley and Ruth McDermott.

Smart Light Sydney will not only excite audiences with dozens of beautiful and atmospheric light creations, it will inspire in its innovative approaches that reduce energy consumption, reduce light wastage and revitalise urban spaces.

Smart Light Sydney is also a partner of the UN International Year of Astronomy 2009, highlighting the need for darker night skies through smart lighting in cities globally, and will celebrate Sydney Observatory's Festival of the Stars to showcase the opportunities for spectacular stargazing thanks to reduced light pollution.
