As part of the YouTube Symphony in Sydney, Australia, I had the pleasure to meet and interview Android Jones, the self-proclaimed Digital Alchemist of Light. His artwork (really a type of performance art, as it was created live and timed to the music), was projected across the Sydney harbor onto the exterior of the Sydney Opera House. The images moved and morphed, making it seem as if the building itself were changing shape before our very eyes. The only way I can describe it is to say that it had all the thrill of an incredible fireworks show, combined with the incredible architecture of the Opera House and the wonderful music of Michael Tilson Thomas leading the YouTube Symphony. You really HAD TO BE THERE.
But, since you weren't, here are a few videos.
First watch my SHORT interview with Android, which starts on this intermission show video at approx. 2:02.
Then check out this video I shot with my portable camera which shows the Obscura projection team and Android Jones in action, creating his artwork from the projection site during the concert. Enjoy!
