A new bridge connects suburbanites to the Sydney Airport
The recently constructed Sydney Gateway Twin Arch Bridge serves not only as a vital throughway to and from the Australian suburb of St. Peters to the Sydney Airport but also as a colorful nighttime landmark. With regular 10-minute dynamic lighting shows designed by Coolon that can be triggered by the Transport Management Centre for New South Wales remotely via fiber link, 14 color presets that adhere to the Cival Aviation Safety Authority, and additional 25 colorways to celebrate special occasions, the bridge is alight with personality made possible by Pharos controls. Multiple fixtures in Coolon’s Spectrum RGBW IP line work in tandem with a four-universe Pharos Designer LPC 4, a 5-in. Designer TPS 5, and an unmanaged Ethernet switch with four PoE-enabled output ports for power and data distribution to bring the structure to life.
“LUMINO,” the free, 15th -annual installation of luminous works of art, was on view in Montreal until the beginning of March. Produced and created by the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership, the 2025 event featured 30 works by 15 studios and 20 local and international artists, including seven video projections—and, for the first time, 11 indoor installations. The exhibit was on view daily from sunset to 11 p.m. Some of the works included Cercle Polare, by Canadian Aboriginal artist Jason Carter in collaboration with M.A.D. Collectif, which celebrated northern fauna; Charleur Humaine, a suspended sun, by Quebec artist Anne Lagacé; Lustres, an open-air ballroom by TILT; and the larger-than-life Trumpet Flowers by Australian studio Amigo and Amigo, which is accompanied by a jazz score.
