Notes
  • Description:  Although an imposing building, the International Convention Centre required a feature to draw attention to its entrance to the west of Centenary Square, and also to make the Centre visible at night. Haselden's neon sculpture within the canopy over the entrance fulfills this function by creating a shifting display of colour and form which is visible from across the square. The sculpture uses computer sequencers to light up different neon tubes in various colours to make constantly shifting multi-coloured patterns on themes of birdlife and travel, which reflect the joy and freedom which are traditionally associated with music.(1) This work is best viewed at night, when the yellow and blue bird forms flitting around the central red tree motif provide a striking kinetic display.
