Vivid 2026 - illuminart stories in light

Vivid 2026

illuminart are pioneers of large-scale projection art and immersive storytelling in Australia, transforming architecture and public spaces into canvases of light for over 15 years. Our highlights reel showcases the breadth of our practice — from permanent projection systems to festival centrepieces — blending fine-detail architectural mapping, painterly animation, and sculptural light.

Each project is tailored to site and story, celebrating heritage while inviting audiences to see familiar places anew. Whether collaborating with communities or producing major city events, we bring technical precision, artistic innovation, and a deep respect for place. With Vivid Sydney, we are excited to extend this legacy, offering works that are both visually spectacular and emotionally resonant, sparking curiosity and connection.

The reel includes examples that inform the artistic approach behind Cityskin: Hidden Stories: the elegant overlays of Luminous Hall, the illusions of Stepping into the Light, playful transformations in Ningaloo, and the finely tuned façade mapping of Cut the Gothic, Too Silly. Together, they demonstrate illuminart’s ability to peel back architecture and reimagine its layers — a visual language that Cityskin will take further, using the ASN Clock Tower as a portal of futuring, imagination, and spectral transformation.
