Scattered Light.....
After dinner at Botanical Cafe in Kings Park we walked down Fraser Ave to check out one of the many art installations that are sprinkled around the city as part of the Perth Festival. This is possibly one of the hardest pieces to photograph, mainly because a still picture just doesn't do it full justice, fortunately I found this short video which shows exactly, (scroll down) how it works.. Called 'Scattered Light', a 'homage to the humble light bulb', it is anything but humble! Created by internationally renowned media art pioneer Jim Campbell, it's a little like 'the face in the tree' in that at first you're not sure if you're imagining things..was that a shadow of someone walking by on the other side? No it was not. it's all in the design, very cool n'est pas! Happy Thursday, hope it's a good one, take care.....

ReplyDeleteIt's so gorgeous and I love the way you captured these! Looked at clip and happily remembered some of these exhibitions when they went by Manhattan, so cool:)
ReplyDelete(Also, love your new photo, though the previous one was also lovely!)
That looks interesting - instead of paint to make art with light

You're right...you have to watch the video understand what it's about. What a cool concept! The artist should bring that exhibit to Ft. Myers, summer home of Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic piece. I watched the video and loved it. I'm always amazed that the artistic imagination and this one is really nice!
ReplyDeleteIf the photos are this spectacular, I can only imagine what it looks like to be there!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I would love patio lights like this.

ReplyDeleteNow this is an unusual installation. I've never seen a swarm of fire flies. Perhaps they would like this in a much smaller scale. Hope you had the Mortien with you Grace. Those lights must have been a mosquito magnet.
