Sydney Opera House’s white sails turn into giant canvas for spectacular light display<\/h1>\n

By\u00a0MAIL FOREIGN SERVICE<\/a><\/p>\n

Bathed in an ever-changing display of brilliant light, this is Sydney Opera House as you’ve never been seen it before.<\/p>\n

Called 77 Million Paintings, the installation is the work of\u00a0artist and music producer\u00a0Brian Eno<\/a>\u00a0and features 300 of his drawings.<\/p>\n

He told the BBC he wanted people to ‘surrender to another kind of world,’ as they watched the transformations.<\/p>\n

‘All the things that humans do, including imagining, are the way we deal with emergencies including the global financial crisis,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘So to imply, “oh God, there’s a crisis, no time for imagining any more” – it’s not true.<\/p>\n

‘This is the time for imagining and the way we learn to imagine, one of the ways we learn to imagine, is through the experience of art.<\/p>\n

‘The human ability to imagine made people capable of surviving.<\/p>\n

‘By allowing ourselves to let go of the world that we have to be part of every day, and to surrender to another kind of world, we’re allowing imaginative processes to take place.’<\/p>\n
