Last week I was lucky enough to be flick-passed an invite to the Vivid Ideas program launch, which was surely the most fashionable event in Surry Hills that night. I put on my glasses in an attempt to look more intelligent, and tried to eat as many canapes as possible (which were exquisite). I nodded politely whilst viewing 3D models cells, gossiped venomously to my colleagues, and admired, from a distance, the incredibly enthusiastic, energetic and hip Festival Director Jess Scully.
In seriousness, the program looks fantastic. You could spend an hour delving through the diverse and fascinating program.
Here’s my top pick.
