Sydney’s Icons Get Lit Technicolour-Style As Vivid 2016 Warms Up

It’s a massive expenditure of taxpayer money but how can you be against something that essentially turns the harbour into one giant rave?

Vivid Sydney ran previews tonight of what will probably a fantastic reason to take recreational drugs and wander around the city (which we absolutely don’t condone, just stating the facts).

This will be the eighth year that Vivid has brought its technicolour madness to Sydney and will feature a big ol’ range of art, music and giant illuminated statues of animals.

Have a look at how crazy cool it’s looking already and it hasn’t even started yet:

Pretty gorgeous right? The stuff at Taronga Zoo is looking particularly wild, if you’ll pardon the pun and then please murder me for making it:

Thanks @ANZ_AU for the preview of @VividSydney at Taronga Zoo. Beautiful displays of lights. #VividSydney pic.twitter.com/LmLrLoVOdo

There’s also this pretty great time lapse the cops put together, which I didn’t know was at all within the police skill set:
