Warkworth will be the home of a rainbow-making machine for three weeks over the Christmas and New Year period.

Commissioned by Auckland Council and now part of council’s public art collection, Rainbow Machine was designed and built by artists Shahriar Asdollah-Zadeh, Patrick Loo and Sarosh Mulla, working with scientists and engineers from Callaghan Innovation and Ōtāhuhu Engineering to bring the artwork to life.

It is a mobile and interactive artwork that creates rainbows when the sun is shining, using eight custom-made lenses to reflect and refract light.

The artwork will be operating on the Warkworth Wharf (near the kiosk) from December 21 to January 11.
