Saturday 27th May 2017 - VIVID Chatswood Continued

I decided not to go into town tonight as I have an early start tomorrow morning. Chatswood was therefore my chosen VIVID precint to visit tonight.

I have covered the main projections at the Concourse already therefore will not revisit these however there are a few more VIVID installations to visit around Chatswood.

First installation visited on level 1 in Chatswood Chase is called Light Bounce. Oh dear - big fail. Lots of kids trying to make the coloured lights change colour with touch however the interactive touch panels did not work (I touched them myself and about 50 % of them failed to work).

Second installation visited outside Westfield's Hawkers Lane Entrance was full of activity - a crowd of kids and even some parents banging on the drums continuously making the lights on the Octapus structure change colour. Interactive installation is barricaded off until 5.30 pm each night.

Around the corner a live DJ plays music which attract crowds especially little kids who start to dance.

Onto Chatswood Mall and the Canopy of lights with market stalls hawking goods as well as food and drink. Further down there is the Crosswords installation complete with a male and female "alien" of some sort from space.

Onto Chatswood station where I have aleeady covered the rectangular light installation but photographed from below previously rather then above tonight. A busker plays original acoustic songs accompanied with his guitar below.

Final installation is on the upper level - known as The District Dining precinct. If you remember tgere is a glass bridge connecting 2 buildings between Chatswood station and last year at VIVID it had collapsing projections giving the illusion you were about to fall through the glass bridge to people walking pass below. I am about to head up there now. Hope I won't be disappointed.

To be continued.

Yep disappointing just a projection called     "Gear Shift" .

Live music was good up there as well.
