The NEST.

The NEST.
If there is only one thing you go and see at Vivid, this should be it.
Its a really great presentation of art such that it can be appreciated from just about any angle, position or distance… this is often not the case with many Vivid installations where the art is often best viewed from one or maybe two positions to get an optimal view.
The installation is basically a partial cylinder using ‘ghost mesh’ which has the art projected onto it. If you are inside it, it looks amazing, if your outside, it looks amazing 🙂
The choice of video subject is pretty amazing too, the birds look amazing, especially the Brolgas when they fill up the mesh screens.
I have assembled a series of timelapse from a variety of angles which hopefully can give an appreciation of the artwork and the variety of angles it can be viewed from.
I don’t normally get excited by Vivid installations to be honest, but this one was a refreshing change where it all came together, location, artwork, presentation and importantly viewer usability..
Go on, check it out, money back guaranteed you will like it..

Usual Vivid blurb below.
“The dance of the Brolgas surrounds us, as their graceful movement plays out like the unfurling of a ribbon.
An expansive circular structure welcomes you to bear witness to the ritualistic mating dance of the Brolga, one of only two species of crane native to Australia.
Projected onto a transparent surface, the huge bird apparitions appear to float in the air and are visible from both out and inside the Nest.”
