Amid a cold, dark winter, the second iteration of Illuminate Adelaide warms the city with a showcase of art, light, music, and technology as boundary-pushing local and international artists reimagine laneways, street fronts, and open spaces in three precincts: North, East and West, from 1 to 31 July.
Istanbul-based visionaries at Ouchhh Studio feature their work with NASA and CERN as well as the work of Leonardo da Vinci in Wisdom of AI Light, an AI-driven multisensory experience that’s putting the “art” in artificial intelligence. In addition, Gorillaz will perform for one-night-only; Montreal studio Moment Factory’s Light Cycles returns to the Botanic Gardens with a new series of immersive installations, artworks and large-scale activations; and in an Australian premiere, Joanna Dudley’s operatic video installation We Will Slam You With Our Wings takes from some of history’s most notoriously sexist speeches and recasts them into a feminist war cry echoing through the ages.
