Unfamiliar Customs: a light show


Unfamiliar Customs is how this light show is described.  It throws a large scale image on a traditional sandstone building called Customs House on Sydney's harbour edge.

It was part of the Vivid Festival, a light show after dark in Sydney's winter, in June 2011.

During the day, our city buildings went about their business with quiet dignity.  At night, they romped, and all without moving from the spot.

The light animations turned them into surreal cartoons of themselves, and when it was over, the light show left no trace and the buildings denied it ever happened.

All that remains of this event are the Youtube uploads: take a guided tour of the event with google, it's awesome. 

This my first Youtube upload, so be kind to me.
