Each July, Illuminate Adelaide takes over the city’s top landmarks and attractions in a celebration of innovation, music, art, light and technology. With Mirror Mirror and Resonate, Moment Factory builds on the success of the sold-out two-year run of Light Cycles, an outdoor digital art experience that premiered at the festival’s inaugural edition.
Set in the viridescent Adelaide Botanic Gardens, Resonate picks up where Light Cycles left off, expanding on the illumination of nature’s secret rhythms to explore the transcendence of feeling at one with the environment. Inspired by our human capacity for emotional and physical resonance with the natural world, this original Moment Factory experience invites guests to connect with their surroundings on a two-kilometre nighttime trail through the garden’s sprawling grounds.
Across six immersive installations, a combination of lighting, projections, original soundscapes and poetry are synchronized to cultivate a resonance between body, mind, nature, and other participants. Driven by a palette of colour and harmony, each zone probes a different sense of attunement between our emotions and the environment. Along the way, guiding instructions encourage guests to actively participate and form deeper bonds with their natural surroundings.
