Somnius by Illumaphonium: Lloyds Amphitheatre – This installation will shroud the Amphitheatre in a cosmic blend of light and sound, responding to the audience’s movements and creating a playful, interactive experience.

C-Scales by Bruce Munro Studio: Castle Bridge – As you cross Castle Bridge, admire a suspended facade of over 1,800 CDs and DVDs that shimmer and reflect light, inspired by the waters of Sydney Harbour.

Swing Song by Bristol Light Festival: Queen Square – Back by popular demand, Swing Song will once again be found in Queen Square. This year, there will even be a fast track ticket option for one set of swings!
