Connections 2018 the light art installation that graced the Lobby of 200 George Street in Sydney for a month upon the request of the Mirvac group. Originally conceived for VIVID Light in 2017, this installation captivated the attention of onlookers with its mesmerizing display.

At the heart of Connections 2018 lies a profound concept: the constant connectivity that binds us all on a daily basis. In the modern era, we find ourselves connecting with others through various means, whether it's through phone calls, text messages, emails, or social media interactions. These connections, however fleeting, all have one thing in common: they traverse invisible radio waves that envelop us. Connections 2018 takes this invisible network of communication and transforms it into a visual spectacle. By listening to the signal levels on the frequencies where these interactions occur, the installation illuminates columns with vibrant colours. The intensity of the traffic on the radio waves determines the brightness of these colours, creating a breathtaking display that is both beautiful and thought-provoking. As time passes, the coloured dots representing snippets of information slide down the sides of the columns, resembling a cascading waterfall. But unlike a tangible waterfall, these dots vanish into the void, never to be seen again. This evokes a sense of transience, reminding us that in our hyper-connected society, information flows in a constant stream, forever changing and evolving.

In today's personalized communication era, where individualized data bubbles dominate, Connections offers a glimpse into the sheer volume of information that permeates our surroundings. Though we may not know the specifics of what is being transmitted, to whom, or where it originates, for that fleeting moment, we can comprehend the vastness of the digital landscape surrounding us. It serves as a reminder of the intricate web of connectivity that binds us together, forming the foundation of our modern society.
Connections 2018, with its compelling visualization of our hyper-connected world, invites us to pause and contemplate the profound impact of our constant communication. It invites us to acknowledge the beauty and complexity that arises from our incessant connections, leaving a lasting impression on all those who encounter its luminous embrace.
