The Saleyard Façade Artwork
This unique artwork designed and installed by Midnight Tuesday adorns the façade of The Saleyard, Midland and is inspired by the history of the site.
It utilises pureLED Flextube Addressable, arranged to trace out abstract paths representative of sheep trails in the Perth hills. Peter Gee described the concept of ‘light sheep’ travelling along the trails with natural organic motion, stopping, starting, speeding up and slowing down at random. No out-of-the-box effects exist to create this effect, so Ben at Light Application used Adobe After Effects to create a digital representation of over one hundred ‘sheep’, complete with realistic movement, and translated the resulting video into the Pharos LPC controller which co-ordinates the whole show on a seamless loop.
Midnight Tuesday made use of the wide range of options available in the Flextube range, selecting 2700k white only LEDs in the addressable product (rather than the standard RGB), silicone jacket to maximise longevity in the harsh sun, and bendable aluminium mounting extrusion, which made forming the organic trail pattern during installation a breeze.
The lighting is scheduled to operate daily between sunset and 10:30pm.

The Midnight Tuesday Artist Team have worked on projects with Light Application for several years. They have proven to be extremely trustworthy, creative, reliable, timely and professional. Our recent lighting artwork completed with the Wild by Midnight team is no exception. We asked Light Application to program some fun, playful, animated and natural looking movement into the strip lighting they supplied to us, and Ben delivered. He excelled with the programming and created exactly the look we were after. Thanks also to David, Tracy, Aaron and the Light Application team.
