As we mentioned last month, two of our clients - Sydney Festival and Kaldor Public Art Projects – have joined forces for an event that sees the amazing American conceptual artist John Baldessari putting “our name in lights” for just 15 seconds – on a giant 30m display located high above the Australian Museum.

The concept is simple – everyone can be famous for 15 seconds! You register to have your own name up there on the display (and that of your extended family) by heading to the Sydney Festival web site.  The Festival will then send you an email, letting you know when your name will be “in lights”. You can either pop down to the Museum to view it live, or watch it on the streaming webcam. But do hurry – over 65,000 people have now registered, and the last remaining available spaces are filling up!

If you have already had Your Name in Lights, and you have the photo or video to prove it, we’re starting a collection at the Kaldor Public Art Facebook page – please post!

Here’s the lastest episode of Sydney Festival TV featuring interviews with the (very tall) man himself, Mr John Baldessari:
