Sydney Harbour Bridge Gets A Chic Look This Christmas

Monday, December 25, 2023

As Santa completed his distributions for the night, the steel arches of the most iconic bridge of Australia were going through a major alteration. Currently, as they get up from their inactivity on the morning of December 25th, the Sydney Harbor Bridge has appeared from the darknesses, decorated in a first-time-ever festive look. However, though it looks real, this alteration is only a digital facelift, it’s the creation of Vincent Smadja, Parisian avant-garde artist, who is known for his digital involvements with international landmarks, like the Big Ben, Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building.

This Christmas Smadja’s used If Only AI to scatter a touch of Christmas magic Down Under. The bridge in this work, appears to have been gracefully wrapped with stylish white and gold Christmas adornments and flash lights, all the way from the end in the CBD to the other end in North Sydney.

Smadja said that the aesthetics of the Sydney Harbour Bridge are pretty dissimilar from any other bridges that he has worked before. This permitted him to push the limits with AI, mixing grace with creativity. He added that he hopes this digital version brings a piece of the festive spirit of Sydney to audiences universally.
