Vivid 2022: Chronoharp

Chronoharp is created by Amigo & Amigo in collaboration with Otis Studios from Australia.

As one of the oldest musical instruments in the world, the harp has long been admired for its grandeur. To see one is a wonder, to hear one played moves your soul. In this colourful, walk-through sound and light installation, the beauty of the harp is transformed into a multi-player experience. 

While a traditional harp is designed to be played by a soloist, this innovative instrument beckons all to take part in its immersive light music. As you and fellow festival-goers interact with the work, each string changes state from white to colours. At the hands of many players, the prism reverberates with light and musical tones. This symphony of the spectacular resonates with our collective harmony as together we create more joy and shared memories.
