The Vivid Sydney festival kicks off today in, well, Sydney, Australia. It's host to music, events, and panel discussions as well as spectacular light installations and projections that light up some of the city's most well known landmarks. These include the Sydney Harbour Bridge (which we'll be documenting in the coming weeks), Sydney Opera House, Customs House, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and many other venues.

Artists like the Spinifex Group and The Electric Canvas will be turning these buildings into shrines of dancing color and interactive animations with the latest projection mapping technology. Aquatique Show International will create an "immersive water theatre" with a 65 feet high wall of water and Sydney Harbour Bridge will be lit up with 100,800 LEDs which the public will be able to interact with, selecting which parts to light up.

All this takes place between 24th May and 10th June. You can check out some pics below.
