Synergy is a collaborative light installation completed by members of UNSW student-led societies CREATE (Main Campus) & MAKE CLUB (UNSW Art & Design) for the Vivid Sydney 2018. It presents a pretty tableau from nature - a large plywood tree surrounded by ferns. This deceptively simple scene however, represents the interlinked mechanisms of a super-organism. In these complex beings, inconspicuous organisms demonstrate emergent properties by sharing signals and nutrients for the greater good of the collective. In Synergy, this survival mechanism is demonstrated by the illumination of the ferns which are triggered by the passage of visitors along the path.
The timelapse is captured on the opening night on 25 May 2018.
