After exiting the #LG installation, I came across the #VividSydney #CircularQuay installation at Jessie Street Gardens next to the Gateway building.

Jessie Street was a firebrand feminist 💜🤍💚💪

It's called the Hive and it's by two locals.

Vivid pro-tip: the toilets at Gateway are clean!

More information on the installation is here: https://www.vividsydney.co...

The artists are from #perth in Western Australia which is the Aussie state @minnie should go live in.

Here are my vid dumps of the installation - very Vivid and since the location is not crowd central, there were seats available to view this because this is really aimed at the office crowd.

The only problems I had with my vids were people walking in front because they didn't realise this was a Vivid installation 😂

It's pretty to look at but all the interactive installations have spoiled me @minnie

I'd have liked to have crawled through the hexagons and climbed on top of the artwork. A pity about all that fencing. Maybe they can turn this into a kids' playground next year.

One for the suggestion box.

I think this installation could be more inspired by the tree rings and turned those hexagons into one big hexagon @minnie and maybe a giant bee crawling on top and depositing some pollen or honey in the middle.

Just a thought 🐝

Yes there are some wavy bits going on, but I'd like to have had a story. It could be just another feature on the wall with different patterns.

I like stories @minnie

It's very mesmeric and Zen I suppose. If you're looking for a quiet spot at the Quay madness, this ain't a bad installation for it.

You could have this on a dance floor with people just buzzing about surrounding it.

I wish they had a honey or mead stall nearby @minnie

My mate on the right was going to walk in front of the installation and saw us vid takers and changed his mind. Thank you mate for not spoiling it.

It's funny how many people from the LG installation queue I saw landing at the Hive. Quite appropriate.

It's pretty so walk around it as it gives you different perspectives of the Hive.

If I wasn't on a drone show mission (am I never on a mission at Vivid?) then I'd have gone to the bar and sipped some wine while watching this @minnie

Here is the start of the installation, I was sitting on the side for it but it does give you that different perspective.

The music is rather different at the start so if you're on site, watch it from the beginning.

And my final vid of this installation before I moved to the centre.

No longer a Sydneysider and Vivid is one thing I really miss. Thanks for the glimpse.

Glad you're enjoying a reminder of the city without the crowds!

I've grown to love it over the years. I think the side events surrounding it are getting better. It's grown organically and doesn't feel forced. And since it's winter, more locals are around as opposed to the summer Sydney Festival.
