VANDAL and art duo Alexa Sirbu + Lukas Vojir create ‘Stranger Spring’ for The Galeries LIGHT ARC
LIGHT ARC has returned for ‘Stranger Spring’ at The Galeries in collaboration with VANDAL. See it, smell it, hear it and taste it…
‘Stranger Spring’ is an obscure, immersive sensory experience of all things Spring. Collaborating with London-based art duo, Alexa Sirbu & Lukas Vojir, ‘Stranger Spring’ see the LIGHT ARC complemented with sound, smell and taste.
Art duo Sirbu and Vojir have worked with some of the world’s best known design studios before establishing their own style. Using computer-generated imagery and simulation tools guided by artistic intent, they create surreal worlds rendered in hyper-real, tactile detail. The smooth, flowing motion of their artworks bathe their graphic designs in organic surrealism, creating florals from another dimension.
SEE IT.
The Galeries LIGHT ARC by VANDAL has returned with a whole new look for Stranger Spring. The visually stunning alien flowers bring Spring to the retail precinct in the strangest and most surreal way. These alien flowers from another dimension have grown into another platform with their very own bespoke Instagram filter.
SMELL IT.
The LIGHT ARC is now complemented with it’s very own Stranger scent. This intriguing scent amplifies the inter-dimensional experience of Stranger Spring. Stand under the LIGHT ARC on ground level to smell for yourself.
HEAR IT.
Strange sounds can also be heard around the LIGHT ARC. This surreal soundscape surrounds the LIGHT ARC with sensory-based acoustic waves, transporting you to another dimension.
TASTE IT.
Exciting limited-edition flavours are scattered across The Galeries at dining experiences such as Black Star Pastry, T Totaler, Jimmy’s Recipe and more.
Commissioned by Vicinity Centres for The Galeries in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, LIGHT ARC by VANDAL is a digital placemaking art installation conceived as an interactive 3-dimensional canvas for artistic expression and retail activation.
Head to The Galeries, 500 George Street Sydney, to experience the stranger side of Spring.

How are they a Vandal art duo? They’re London-based freelancers available for hire. Comments still disabled on Vimeo, Vandal what are you afraid of?
Great photos of people ignoring it and walking by
Wow, people will literally shit on anything on this blog.
Animation is A+, reminds me of Bjork.
Nice one. Watch out for these guys. They’re coming for you.
Agree with TK the animation is great
But this is completely outsourced to two talented creatives in London, who are ex Man Vs Machine. Vandal just what… hired them? That makes them a Vandal duo I guess, in this age of “Executive Curators”
Exquisite art direction. Well done Vandal
Duh Yeah. You hire an agency to write a script, you hire a director to shoot a commercial, you hire an actor to act in it and you hire a post house to finish it.
Saw this yesterday. very unique – nice job
Duh: You hire a post house sure, but do you want to hire one that completely passes the job through to a design duo who are essentially a post house in their own right? I don’t. Why the extra overhead? This is all Alexa and Lukas’s style.
And it’s official now, Alexa and Lukas have launched their own studio:

Confirming this really had very little to do with Vandal at all
