With a soundtrack arranged by Neil Davidge and Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, this incredible fusion of light and sound saw a forest of luminous LED columns light up Federation Square during the winter months. The columns responded spectacularly to human movement and visitors were encouraged to walk, crawl, jump and dance their way through this interactive installation.
