Thursday 15th June 2017 - VIVID 2017 @ Barangaroo South

I am so glad I went to my 2nd last VIVID precinct tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow night.

Quite a disappointment. Only 4 light installations and a pair of roving characters were located at Barangaroo South.

Train to Wynyard and a walk through Wynyard Walk got me to Barangaroo South.

Photos attached. Unsure whether to upload any videos ss they were a disappointment.

The lineup for "Trap Door" was 10 - 15 minutes long with only a 1 minute interactive experience. Was it worth the lining up? No. Trapdoor? more like a Trap!
Very similar to last year's Chatswood interactive 3D projection across the bridge to The District Dining entrance - in fact it looked like it had been recycled! Definitely more realistic last year with the feeling you were actually falling from a collapsing bridge onto people below.  With Trap Door it did not feel 3D and I wasn't sure where I was suppose to look.

Light up sting rays above projections of rippling water ?

The roving characters in diver suits and clouds over their head?

How about a ripoff of the silent disco exceot with a large triscreen above you? Flicking a seitch on your head sets changes not only the illuminated colour of your headset but also the music/sounds and diologue.
