Sydney Opera House, completed in 1973.
Next stop - Museum of Contemporary Art (even though the main building is under renovation). the exhibit was Recorders, a solo exhibit by interactive artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.
Visitors are encouraged to leave
traces of themselves throughout the show, like below.
Each lightbulb signifies a heart beat of an individual who held tightly to handle bars present in the room.
We can record ourselves, then mix in the video with whoever comes next.
Audio recording that makes light represent the sound. Then off of learn scuba, or so we thought... Sydney ProDive is the worst managed scuba shop I've seen.
Waiting for Turandot to begin. My very first opera. The story, set in China, involves prince Calàf who falls in love with
the cold princess Turandot. To obtain permission to marry her, a suitor
has to solve three riddles; any false answer results in death. Calàf
passes the test, but Turandot still hesitates to marry him. He offers
her a way out: he agrees to die should she be able to guess his real
name. All sung in Italian with subtitles above. I only dozed off a little bit.
New Things Today
1. Saw the opera, no opera glasses though.
2. Scuba'd in the ocean! Sadly, it was a memory I'd like to forget...
