Portside Wharf in collaboration with Northshore Brisbane are set to host Spectrum of Happiness, Portside Serenades, and Friday Feels in partnership with Brisbane Festival 2024.
SPECTRUM OF HAPPINESS
There’s nothing quite like reaching to the skies on a swing as a child, but Spectrum of Happiness comes close.
Spectrum of Happiness is an interactive swing that invite people of all genders and generations to experience shared moments of happiness together. By swaying on the swings, people activate the movement of the LED ball over their heads, and also create a collaborative music together where their communal joy brightens above the sky.
The rainbow symbolizes an optimistic, new, bright beginning. It embodies diversity in its diverse colours, the same as diversity in each individual, which together shines as the beloved and celebrated rainbow of humankind.
Let your inner child come out and hop on this unique swing set.
Created by 27June Studio, a Bangkok based creative technology and experience design studio.
When: Tuesday to Saturday, 30 August to 21 September
Time: 3PM – 9PM
