Lightscape has returned to Brisbane Festival this year, after becoming a regular fixture at metropolitan centres nationwide. The large-scale lighting installation currently occupies Brisbane’s City Botanical Gardens, but is just the latest in what has become a commercial trend: immersive, family-friendly experiences opening new opportunities for multiple art forms and technicians. While the vernacular is still emerging for these events, the most common term has become “art playgrounds”.
Musician and sound designer Luke Peacock has a long and celebrated career. His design for the Electric Forest at Brisbane’s Lightscape is his first design for an art playground.
