Enlightened

Recently we took in the visual spectacle that was Canberra’s Enlighten. One of our favourite installations was ‘The Cloud’. Brought to life by Canadian artists Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett and composed of 6,000 incandescent light bulbs set against the night sky. It was impactful in its simplicity. As it drew you closer, you notice hundreds of pulldown switches that compel spectators to interact with the artwork by switching lights on and off. We think this image really says it all.
