Vivid Sydney’s Favourite Selfie Installation Now For Sale
'gram year-round in privacy with your own piece of Vivid.
Take Vivid selfies in the privacy of your own backyard, one of this year's favourite 'grammable installations is up for sale. Cellular Tessellation, the illuminated tunnel artwork developed three design-driven academics from the Gold Coast’s Bond University, could be your own Vivid souvenir. Fist-shaking killjoys behind you, not included.
Constructed from weather-resistant HDPE plastic, your backyard parties just got a whole lot more 'grammable. An illuminated, honeycomb-like tunnel made up of 1200 laser-cut pieces and 3000 bolts and plywood spacers, Cellular Tessellation was pretty much responsible for the Most Queues Held Up During Vivid — due to its irresistible selfie-opp potential.
With every piece cut to a different size, the team defy the nature of tessellation itself — bringing together diverse, unique components in a seemingly perfectly-fitted structure. Illuminated both within and without by 4500 lights in 200 metres of strip LED, plus motion sensors that respond you your movement, Cellular Tessellation would make a rather dramatic (and totally baller) entrance to your front door.
Designed by three architectural brainiacs — Chris Knapp (assistant professor in Digital Design and discipline leader of Bond's Architecture Program), Jonathan Nelson (assistant professor of Architecture in Digital Fabrication and founding manager of the Architecture Fabrication and Research Laboratory at Bond) and Michael Parsons (teaching assistant at Bond University and a Master of Architecture candidate) — Cellular Tessellation will be on sale from today.
