Light Breezes created a playful collaboration of light and fabric during Vivid Sydney 2012. The light installation was sited along Cambridge Street, a popular thoroughfare within Sydney’s historic Rocks, and connecting with the original Nurses Walk and Argyle Cut.
The installation invited the passerby to engage and interact with light by hanging a series of illuminated fabric socks. From the nearby Argyle Cut, passersby's could see the lights as they fluttered in the breeze, changing colour and brightness, like fluid beacons.
Wind projected light to dance across the landscape while the show of saturated colour stimulated the audiences perception of light and their surroundings. Each hanging sock glowed with coloured light which was programmed into the lighting system. As people moved about and through the socks, the light intensity changed within the sock before changing to a complementary colour.
This interaction gave the public a chance to experience basic lighting science as they become part of the light show themselves.
