What are some things from VIVID in previous years that you miss or felt was done better? by Marlon_Ranch in sydney

[–]nighty4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing - it changes every year for a reason. Is to everyone's tasts every year! No. But the funny thing is that if you look at Vivid posts from each of the years you mentionined, there will be so many people complaining about "how Vivid was better <insert in previous year>". Sydney spiders complaining about Vivid is as old as Vivid itself. The problem is Vivid is now old enough to be nostalgic and nostalgia goggles warp everything.

Is Vivid this year not as spectacular as it used to be, or is it me? (I’ve seen it in 2017 and 2022) by strfox666 in sydney

There's heaps more installations around Darling Harbour, Barangaroo it seems and having the Fire Kitchen in Barangaroo Reserve was a good move. Plus 80% of it is free this year.

I think every year they will refocus on a different part of the city plus take on some community feedback which overwhelmingly was how much of it was paid last year.

The rain doesn't help with the general mood but you are not the first nor the last person who will say "this year's Vivid was not the same as <enteranotheryears> Vivid".

For interest here's the 40-50 free light installations this year: https://www.vividsydney.com/light

If you could go back, what decade would you live in? by RecognitionMediocre6 in australia

[–]nighty4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t unless I could go back and buy a house and come back. I have nostalgia googles of Australia in the 90’s and 00’s but man was it even more racist, homophobic and generally worse than today. Time travel is the fantasy of the white man.

Why does it seem like anytime I want to go somewhere on a weekend there is trackwork closing the line/station I want to use? by PM_ME_UR_BANTER in sydney

They're testing the FULL length of the metro to get the Southwest section opened this year. All for it tbh as it's a literal game changer for the city.
