1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled to have in the studio with me Lee Cumberleadge,

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: who's one of the co founders of a festival many

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: of us have enjoyed over the last I think four

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: maybe five years. Now we'll find out. I'm talking about

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: Illuminate Adelaide.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Lee. How are you welcome?

7
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 3: Oh good, thanks, thanks for having me.

8
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: Now how long fifty year now?

9
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, this will be the fifth iteration. Yeah, okay, it

10
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: comes around so quickly to believe, isn't it.

11
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: It's and look, we've done it every year, I think

12
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: with the family just up and down North Terrace. Loved

13
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: the gin bar in the Mortlock Library a couple of

14
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: years ago. I don't know if it was there last year.

15
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: Maybe it was, but missed it if it was, but gee,

16
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: that saved us that year. And really good, like just

17
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: walking enjoying it with everyone else, a real family feel

18
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: about it. Lovely event, but so much more to it.

19
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

20
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: I think the free program city Lights that you mentioned

21
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: all along North Terrace there and in the East End

22
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 3: is a big favorite, and in some ways it's the

23
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: real kind of backbone of our program, you know. I

24
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 3: think it's just such a great privilege really to have

25
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: this amazing city, to bring that to life with all

26
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: the amazing installations we bring from all over the world,

27
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: and just to open that up free to the public.

28
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful thing, saying, so many happy people from

29
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 3: all ages, all backgrounds throughout the city.

30
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: And you know, kids love it because there are parts

31
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: of it that are so interactive. You can step on

32
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: things and make a bits slide up and all the rest.

33
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. This year we've got a few really

34
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: amazing kind of interactive exhibits as part of the program.

35
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 3: You can ride a bike and compete with your friends

36
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: or family or complete strangers and it's called light Battle

37
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: and the light actually changes the faster you battle against

38
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: the opposite number on the side, so you can do that,

39
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: or this kick at Team Tennis where you play like

40
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: a ball game of lights in the street. So there's

41
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 3: a lot of interactivity. But we've also got amazing projections again.

42
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: There's a beautiful projection by Joan Ross on the Gallery

43
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: of South Australia again this year. And Government House, of course,

44
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: the Governor has opened up very kindly opened up the

45
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: garden there at Government House, so we put a beautiful

46
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: projection on there by a Spanish artist Javi this year.

47
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: But there's also things in Festival Plaza and right down

48
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: to Lot fourteen where base Camp will be again this year,

49
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: which is food and bev at the end of the

50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 3: strip there.

51
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Excellent and it's so much more than just that area,

52
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: isn't There's a lot going on and this year a

53
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: big drone show as part of it.

54
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. We've got Horizons at the Adelaide Oval.

55
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: It's one night only on July the eighteenth, presented by

56
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: RAA and it's this beautiful, spectacular piece that we've been

57
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: producing that tells the story of the river bank and

58
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: its significance going back through history, but it also talks

59
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: about the people in place of South Australia and we're

60
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: using all of the amazing technology there, so hundreds of

61
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: illuminated drones, plus the technology inside the Alaied Oval, the

62
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: big screens, the led strips, the lighting in the stadium

63
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: and bringing in some other lighting as well. So we're

64
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 3: really looking forward to that.

65
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: Okay, is it right around? Can people sit? Are you

66
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: expecting thirty thousand? Is that the idea?

67
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're expecting about that number. Show.

68
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: We have to we have to leave about half the

69
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: ball for the drones play overhead as an exclusion zone.

70
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: But they will be making these huge pictures right above

71
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 3: the oval. And we've just put the second show on

72
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: sale last week, so it's selling really fast and I

73
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: think everyone's really excited about it. So, yeah, we can't make.

74
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: Excellent is it a I must be a suitable venue

75
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: to stage? Is a stadium a good place to see

76
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: a drone exhibition like that? Because I recall now I

77
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: forget what it was, Festival of Arts I reckon a

78
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: few years ago did a big drone show in Victoria

79
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Park and it looks spectacular. Yeah, but it spread out

80
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: and open and all the rest. Does a stadium make

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: a difference?

82
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: A stadium is like a massive theater basically for something

83
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: like this for us, and it's an incredible privilege to

84
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: get to get the keys to the place, you know.

85
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: Quite frankly, they've been a very supportive the.

86
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: Keys to the bar.

87
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: Oh I wish, I wish, but yeah, they've been great

88
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: partners the Oudelaide Oval. And they approached us about a

89
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: year ago and said, let's do something together.

90
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: And so this is what we've come up with.

91
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: And you know, it's the first time it's a drone

92
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: show like this has ever been done at a major

93
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: stadium anywhere in the country. Okay, so yeah, it's gonna

94
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: be it's gonna be something. How many drones hundreds and hundreds, Yeah, yeah,

95
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: it's gonna be. Well, it's going to be a massive

96
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: swarm of drones that will be flying throughout the whole

97
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: whole show.

98
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, all right, that'll be something to see, no

99
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: doubt about that. The ad for it looks absolutely fantastic,

100
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: I've got to say. And one of the things we've

101
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: seen in the ad is something at the zoo with animals.

102
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

103
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: Universal Kingdom. He's back again this year for its next iteration.

104
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: It's the next era of Dinosaurs, building on last year,

105
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: so we're moving into featuring some amazing land based dinosaurs,

106
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: some of the big headliners of the prehistoric world really,

107
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: like we've got the triceratops, we've got a t rex

108
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: and raptors, so it's going to be amazing again this year.

109
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: Big Lantern's big kind of you know, full size dinosaur

110
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: lanterns illuminated, but also incredible puppets as well. So walk

111
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: around dinosaurs that the pub that can interact with as

112
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 3: well as.

113
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: Kids will love that. Yeah, absolutely, it's great for the families.

114
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: It's hard to come up with new iterations of things.

115
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: I suppose you're evolving that part of it, so I

116
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: might be obvious, but you know you've got to sit

117
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: down and plan something new every year.

118
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: Is it a challenge?

119
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: It is a challenge. As I said before, it comes

120
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: around very quickly. So we've already started on parts of

121
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six program. Actually, we try to get

122
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: a bit ahead of the curve before we go into

123
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: this one, and we really do sort of search the

124
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 3: world for what's going on in this space of creativity

125
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: and technology, so not just the kind of light festival model,

126
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: but also these immersive experiences or big shows like Horizons

127
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: or what we've got in the gardens this year night

128
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: Visions as well.

129
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: So tell us about that, because the gardens, what a

130
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: great setting it was for CHEHOLI just gone, yeah, that's right,

131
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: and I imagine I haven't been, probably to my shame

132
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: to illuminate in the garden in the past, but having

133
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: seen Jeholie at night in there and we with friends

134
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: we went in and had dinner and then walked around

135
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: and the whole thing cost ninety bucks and that was

136
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I thought for an evening out with a

137
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: light show included, it's a good way to see it,

138
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: and I imagine the space you can really use to effect.

139
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

140
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 3: Well, the Adelabe Tendergardens such a beautiful, iconic a place

141
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: to go and at nighttime is even more special, I think.

142
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: And you know, we've been working in there since we

143
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: started in twenty twenty one, and the venue really just

144
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: gives us this opportunity I suppose to create these incredible

145
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: experiences for the public. So it's essentially a night walk

146
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: through the gardens. This year, Night Visions is all about

147
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: transporting people into parallel dementia. Okay, so we've kind of

148
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: come up with this concept and we're working with about

149
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: six different artists around the country and around the world

150
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: who are responding to this idea. So in each of

151
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: the different areas of the gardens, we've got a different

152
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: installation or experience and they're incredible. I was in there

153
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: just on Monday night having a look at some of

154
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: the work that the team has been doing already, and

155
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 3: it's looking spectacularly and it's hundreds ofundreds of lights, lasers,

156
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: projections in different areas of the garden, and there is

157
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: a dining experience as well, so just like Chihouli, you

158
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: can go and book the show with the dinner experience

159
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: as well. And the Lodge there that new restaurant on

160
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: the lake, so that's part of it.

161
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: As well, which was a good way of doing Chihouli.

162
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: And I imagine, as I say, this will be similar.

163
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: So I imagine things like night Visions, the Zoo Experience,

164
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: and the Drone Show. They are ticketed events. That's right

165
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: North Terrace, as you said, absolutely free. There's other free

166
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: stuff as well, isn't.

167
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: There there's well no, the free program has about forty

168
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: different installations and that's not just North Terrace, so that's

169
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: Festival Plaza, North Terrace and the East End. And then

170
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: we have some of those big ticketed events that you've mentioned,

171
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: but we also have some smaller events as well in

172
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: our music program which are ticketed as well, and the

173
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: tickets are all different price points as well. So we've

174
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: got some other projects like the Offline Club for example.

175
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: Now the Offline Club is an experience hosted by these

176
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: amazing guys from Amsterdam who have created this movement really

177
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: of getting offline, getting off your phone and having an

178
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: experience of reconnecting with people. So we're we're with them.

179
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: We're hosting four different events in this program that will

180
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: involve cafes, so there's some smaller hangouts that people can

181
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: go to, a large hangout at Lumen, and there's also

182
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: a lunch at paper Shell Farm. So it's all about,

183
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: you know, getting off your phone and just having a

184
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: good time, connecting with people, having good food and even

185
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: just you know, doing some of the things that we

186
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: used to do before we're also obsessed with our devices.

187
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: That's absolutely right. Chure Kill.

188
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: The Sensory Odyssey experience, What's what's that about.

189
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: Well, that's a wine tasting experience. The incredible people at

190
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: chalk Hill. They do this wine tasting with with this

191
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: audio experience, so you wear headphones and they play different

192
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 3: music while you taste the wines, and so you sample

193
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: the ones without listening to the music, and then with

194
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: the different music that they curate for the experience. And

195
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: apparently I haven't done it yet, been looking forward to.

196
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: Apparently it completely changes your perception of the flavor of

197
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 3: the wine.

198
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: With lights as well, or no, no, this is just

199
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: about audio techno.

200
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: All right, what about the ten minute dance parties? Are

201
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: they part of it as well?

202
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

203
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: So this is at base Camp. This is a very

204
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: fun project by Melbourne artist Josh where he curates music

205
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: inside a confined space a container actually at base Camp.

206
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: So you go inside the container with twenty you know,

207
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: friends or complete strangers. They played bangers for ten minutes

208
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: and you dance your heart out and it's great for

209
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: the whole family. Actually it's good for all ages. But yeah,

210
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: you dance your heart out, warm up, and then we

211
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: release you out into the night.

212
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: Excellent, And you know what, it is kind of special

213
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: with the lights being out with everyone else. You've huddled

214
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: up against the cold. You've got your warm jackets on

215
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: and beanie and scarf or whatever depending on the night.

216
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: And it's really good, you know. It's just such a good,

217
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: a good vibe about it, it really is. And the

218
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: city all lit up. Some of the buildings take it

219
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: the heart as well. Down King William Street and elsewhere

220
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: in the East End, as you say, Rundle Street, always

221
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: buildings down there lit up. Have you found over the

222
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: five years ly a difference with AI has that crept

223
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: into what you do and how so well.

224
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: I think artists are always great at taking new technologies

225
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: and you know, testing them until they break put them

226
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 3: back together in really innovative ways. So we've seen a

227
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: real wave of projects coming our way that involve AI.

228
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 3: You know, we have had this happen throughout the years,

229
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: So different projects, like the projections on nol Terras last

230
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: year on the Art Gallery were completely driven by AI.

231
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: You know, where portraits that were actually in the collection

232
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: at the gallery came to life by singing pop songs

233
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: for example, that were created by that deep fake technology

234
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: that's used often to you know, to negative effect out

235
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 3: there in social media land. But these artists that we

236
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: work with, we're doing that for you know, a real

237
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: kind of entertaining, kind of subversive but funny and entertaining

238
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: kind of take on things. So it definitely is it

239
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: definitely is creeping into the creative industries and the arts

240
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: world in that way.

241
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: So much to see. And do you just google illuminate

242
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: for a program, I imagine illuminate Adelaide. You'll find everything there.

243
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

244
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 3: Our website, illuminatadelaide dot com is where to go for

245
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: all the info and tickets as well.

246
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: All right, so July the second, I think it all

247
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: gets underway. Yeah, that's right.

248
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: Next Wednesday night we open Night Visions, and then Universal

249
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: Kingdom at the Zoo opens on Thursday. City Lights kicks

250
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 3: off just as the school holidays get underway on Friday,

251
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: next day, and then the rest goes for the next

252
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,719
Speaker 3: two weeks.

253
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: Two weeks after that. It doesn't go long enough, it

254
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: really doesn't.

255
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: It's long enough for us, I can sure.

256
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: What is the electricity prices in essay keeping everything up

257
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: and running?

258
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 2: Is that the problem?

259
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: Oh well, it's not the problem actually, but it is

260
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: just the team works so hard with an incredible team

261
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: of people working out there in the cold, and but

262
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: what a great time of year to get out of

263
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: the house when it's you know, when it's dark and

264
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: cold like this, absolutely fun out there.

265
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: It's a good almost the good solstice event really. Yeah, yeah,

266
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: that's right.

267
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: I think it just helps us signpost the middle of

268
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 3: winter as we head back towards the woman weather.

269
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: You know, can't wait.

270
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: All right, great seeing you tonight, Lee, Thank you for

271
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: your times coming in and having a chat about that.

272
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: It's such a good event for Adelaide and does get

273
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: people out as you say, and doing the communal family thing.

274
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: It's lovely to see and I think one of the

275
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: best events we staged in Adelaide.

276
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: I know there's big things.

277
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: Like live and gather around and all of that, but

278
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: on a sort of a nice scale, not that the

279
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: others aren't. I'm searching for the right word, but it is.

280
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: It's just a lovely event in the middle of winter

281
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: to go out and rug up and enjoy.

282
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks so much.

283
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, good on you.

284
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: Lee Cumbleledge from Illuminate, one of the co founders. And

285
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: it all starts as you heard on July the second
