HUNDREDS braved the cold on Friday night to watch a unique light show at the Mount Gambier railway lands.
Around 750 people soaked in the sights and sounds of illuminart’s Travelling Light production as part of the South Australian Living Artists Festival.
Fuel tanks on the public precinct’s fringe provided the backdrop for the display, which had lit up Beachport’s National Trust Museum on Thursday night.
Main Corner Complex coordinator Talie Teakle labelled the travelling art installation a “huge success.”
“We were all so pleased with the night as a whole and how it went,” Ms Teakle said.
“The show ran smoothly, especially considering it was the first time the production had been shown on a series of fuel tanks.
“We were all very surprised at how technical it was to organise the show as there was a lot of mathematics involved.”
The animated art was beamed onto the backdrop from a projector housed in a van, making the display fully transportable.
An illuminart digital art workshop held at the Main Corner Complex on Saturday was also well attended.
“At the workshop we listened a lot about the technical side of things and how it is all run,” Ms Teakle said.
“We took photographs where (the Main Corner’s) current nightly projection is shown and learnt how we would map out artwork as we took into account windows and other obstacles.”
Ms Teakle said the skills taught could lead to potential future displays to complement the existing light show.
