The self-guided experience follows an illuminated 2km trail through the Brisbane city park. Journey beneath glowing tree canopies filled with colour, through sparkling tunnels of shimmering light and alongside neon roots bursting from the undergrowth.Stroll alongside larger-than-life flowers and neon roots bursting from the undergrowth and amble through sparkling tunnels of light or under giant poppies suspended high in the night sky.
This uniquely created immersive experience takes you on a journey of the senses through light, colour and sounds, showcasing the gardens as never seen before.
These breathtaking lightworks follow a two kilometre path to create an after-dark oasis of botanical brilliance.
Submergence by Squidsoup
Submergence is an immersive, walkthrough experience using many thousands of individual points of suspended light to create feelings of presence and movement within physical space.
The installation transforms space into a hybrid environment where virtual and physical worlds coincide. As you enter the piece, you walk into a space occupied by both real and virtual components, and you can affect both. The piece moves through several movements, which in its entirety, forms an abstract narrative with a gradual increase in tension, building to a final climax. Each movement has its own elements, atmosphere and responsiveness however they are also all open to one’s own interpretation.
