Cacophony: Art of Conflict

'Cacophony: Art of Conflict' is a light show that is on at the moment in between the art centre and Hamer Hall and also on the other side of Hamer Hall that is viewwed from princess bridge. The main show that is on in between the two buildings goes for 12 minutes with one and a half minutes break in between each loop.
It has been designed on using 3D projection technology and works seamlessly with the two buildings. Each building has been worked out as a grid from each projection point (Hamer hall having one and the Art Center with two.) By doing this they can then make the facades of the building look like they are moving with special effects.
At one point during the show the buildings facades look like armoured machines. The art center pulls back its panel and flings paint at Hamer Hall. Hamer Hall then retaliates by opening its armour and revealing canons that then shoots paint back. This is easily the best and most clever part. As i have been working there 2 or three nights a week doing crowd marshaling i know that this bit is the part that everyone laughs at!
