Adelaide Oval
For cricket fans, Adelaide Oval is practically sacred ground -- rich in sporting history and charmed with genteel heritage. Decor is decidedly English, and the field has hosted cricket legends such as Sir Don Bradman.
Rundle Lantern
Glowing from dusk to midnight every day of the year, the Rundle Lantern is a massive moving display of colour and imagery standing nine stories high. Comprised of 748 panels illuminated by a LED (light emitting diode) system, the Lantern's range of 16 million colours transforms the structure on the corner of Rundle and Pulteney Streets into a bright and dynamic evening landmark.
Even more unique is that it is a public canvas. Anyone is welcome to submit content for the Rundle Lantern. Just visit the installation's website to download the guidelines, and grab a Windows/Mac simulator to preview how the work would display on the installation.
Since its launch, the Rundle Lantern has showcased the work of a number of digital artists from South Australia, and has featured in the Adelaide Fringe and the SALA Festival (South Australian Living Artists).
Covering 1,066 square metres, The Rundle Lantern is driven by solar and 100% green power. The LED light sources use 90% less energy compared to standard incandescent bulbs, aiding the project in achieving its carbon-neutral footprint. The screen wraps around the Rundle Street/Pulteney Street corners of the Rundle UPark parking facility, and the rows are angled to provide good ventilation for the facility while maintaining an excellent viewing angle for onlookers.
