Rainbows appear after storms to lead us out of the dark.
For one month, Fed Square will be host to a number of inflatable rainbow-coloured arches that morph colours and emit xylophonic sounds as visitors pass beneath them. In other words, a playground for big kids and little kids in our city’s meeting point where music plays as we walk, skip, jump and boogie our way under multicoloured lights.

According to Eness, the multidisciplinary art studio behind Sky Castle, it’s the movement of people through the arches that ultimately powers them, progressing the soundscape and stimulating the colour changes, which is intended to evoke the joy and hope felt when seeing rainbows after the rain.
Opening on 14 November and running until 13 December, Sky Castle is a completely outdoor installation requiring no physical interaction between guests or with the installation itself meaning that in this post-lockdown world where we’re actively trying to keep our case numbers to zero, this is one art experience open to all. It’s free, too.
This is not the first time that studio Eness has taken over Fed Square. The first time was back in 2017 when, as part of White Night, they set up Sonic Light Bubble and wowed visitors with sound and light throughout the night. This second art installation aims to do the same.
Get on down to Fed Square and form part of the rainbow.
