Location: Rhodes Park walkway along Parramatta River

Week of Hope happens during first week of June 2020. Digital lanterns that are made with translucent water-proof material will be place on Parramatta River next to the walkway of Rhodes Park. The front side of the lantern acts as a LED screen that displays #lightthelantern messages people posted online. When passengers get close to lanterns, they will “light up” and each lantern plays different tune. In the prototyping system, mouse cursor represents the presence of audience. Audiences are invited to post message on one of the lanterns. The smaller picture on top gives an overhead view of the scene.
