Map of Sydney energy grid wins People's Choice Awards

A light sculpture of an energy grid system is the winner of the 702 Light Walk People's Choice Awards.

Lumenocity is located in the Customs house courtyard and features an abstracted energy map of Sydney CBD. It won the award in competition with 25 other light installations in the Smart Lights Vivid Festival. The sculpture was created by a group of young Sydney architects; Sean Bryen, Sascha Crocker and Andrew Daly.

702 Weekends host Simon Marnie presented the awards. He did the Light Walk from Observatory Hill to Circular Quay to take in the various light installations on the night.

"Not only was I taken with illuminated flying foxes, park benches in halo's of bright white, kaleidoscopic tiles on laneways walls, the Museum of Contemporary Art changing colours like a chameleon and the sails of the Opera House in Enoesque brilliance, but what impressed me even more were the clusters of people, families friends and work colleagues, all enjoying a night out and savouring the streets of Sydney," he says.

Smart Light Sydney is part of the public festival Vivid Sydney. You can do the Light walk and take in the different Light sculptures til Sunday 14 June 2009.
