Time Out says

Immerse yourself in a free magical light show inspired by nature and celestial wonders

While adventuring through the city during Rising, take a moment to look up above Federation Square for a sparkling sensory experience you won't soon forget.

Designed by Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde (best known for creating projects that fuse technology and art in urban spaces), Spark is a collection of glowing, biodegradable lights that have been created to simulate the appearance of fireflies, birds and even constellations.

Be sure to tilt your attention upwards to admire these thousands of magnificent lights as they wave in the breeze and shine to complement the sky’s visible stars. Become immersed in the sensation of witnessing this shape-shifting light swarm that mimics atmospheric bioluminescence – it's a spectacle that will have you returning night after night.

Spark takes place from June 7 to 10. For more info on session times, head to the website.
