City of Sydney - New Years Eve 2024 - The Woman of the Water
VANDAL
For the 2024 Sydney New Year’s Eve celebrations, VANDAL unveiled a groundbreaking visual experience on the Harbour Bridge pylons. The centrepiece, The Woman of the Water, portrayed a shape-shifting ocean spirit embodying the essence of Barangaroo and the Gadigal women of Sydney Harbour. This innovative projection seamlessly blended human movement with generative AI, creating a mesmerizing dance that transitioned through coral, kelp, marine life, and ultimately, water.
Choreographed and performed by Alice Robinson, the performance was captured using motion capture technology. VANDAL's custom AI system then integrated these movements with photographic textures of oceanic flora and fauna, resulting in a fluid fusion of human and nature. Set to an evocative soundtrack composed by Luna Pan, the visuals captivated millions worldwide, marking a significant advancement in generative technology and storytelling.
