Overview

When it's festival time in Brisbane, the city lights up. That said, expect this town of ours to shine a little brighter when Curiocity Brisbane rolls around. A first-time event that's all about imagination, innovation, creativity, science, technology and art, this fest will see immersive installations pop up all over the place between Friday, March 15 and Wednesday, April 3.

Leading the charge is Ross Manning's Wave Opus IV, a large-scale self-playing instrument that resembles a waveform. A new iteration of a work first commissioned by the Institute of Modern Art back in 2017, it's headed to Brisbane Powerhouse — and it's just one of the pieces on the bill. From making stickers out of your own shadow to wandering between luminous statues, there's plenty to pique your interest, all thanks to a lineup of local and international artists, technicians and makers.

The free interactive installation trail will span from South Bank and New Farm, running day and night across the 20-day period. And if you're looking for talks, performances, movies and more, Curiocity also includes this year's World Science Festival Brisbane from Wednesday, March 20 to Sunday, March 24.
