Event Engineering is proud to support Vivid Sydney 2025 with structural engineering solutions for light installations and public artworks. As featured in Create Digital, our director Morgan Sheehy shares how engineering helps bring the festival to life.

Watch the EE Team navigate the transportation and installation of the monumental public artworks by Mikala Dwyer in Sydney Metro Martin Place on the final episode of this SBS Series.

Girls Night Out captures the playful, exuberant experience of a night out with friends. The sculpture is a contemporary timber assemblage with two figures poised in an acrobatic feat of engineering, interacting with the columns and floating platform, and appearing to be suspended in movement.

Cliff by Janet Laurence is a breathtaking suspended installation of over 150 geological specimens, now permanently housed in Curtin University’s School of Design and the Built Environment. From concept design to installation via rope access, Event Engineering collaborated with artists, geologists, and cultural advisors to bring this complex and culturally significant vision to life.

‘Yimaliko Makoro’ by Raymond & Tyler Smith honours the cultural and ecological heritage of Cottage Creek with soaring cast aluminium fish sculptures. Engineered in collaboration with HCCDC.

‘The Land Around Us’ by David Cianci stands tall in Townhead Park, Singleton—a 5.7-metre-high sculpture that celebrates the spirit of place and community. Inspired by the local landscape, this striking work is both a visual landmark and a tribute to the region’s natural heritage. Event Engineering provided engineering and certification services to bring the artist’s vision safely to life.

‘Eucalypt Canopy’ by Balarinji transforms the M12 Motorway shared path into a journey through Country. Featuring oversized eucalyptus leaf structures, the installation blends cultural storytelling with striking design. Event Engineering provided engineering and certification for these sculptural waypoints, supporting a vision that honours Western Sydney’s six seasons and Aboriginal connection to land.

The Cushion House brought HOKA’s Bondi 9 to life with a bold architectural takeover of North Bondi Surf Club. Wrapped in a sculptural form inspired by the shoe’s signature sole, the temporary installation was part brand experience, part public art. Event Engineering supported MNR Constructions with engineering and certification to ensure the structure was safe, durable, and as impactful as the concept demanded.

Seeds of Flight by Tomás Saraceno transforms Parkline Plaza in Sydney’s CBD into a mesmerizing interplay of light and form. Launched on March 6, 2025, this installation showcases Saraceno’s innovative approach to art and science. Event Engineering provided comprehensive services, including structural engineering, rigging, rope access, and custom hardware solutions. Our collaboration with stakeholders and Studio Tomás Saraceno ensured a seamless installation, featuring a custom pulley system for precise adjustments.
