TEDx Sydney 2019: Legacy

After continuous year-on-year growth, TEDx are celebrating 10 years in Sydney. They’re now the largest TEDx in the southern hemisphere and one of the largest in the world. For the anniversary event and continuing our successful relationship with TEDx, Substance was again tasked with creating the opening animation, this year with the theme of “Legacy”. With this remit and TED’s belief in “the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world”, we wanted the titles to focus on some serious issues: celebrating past achievements but also cautioning future restraint. As with last year’s opener, we also wanted to use the title sequence as a catalyst for thought and opportunity for action, and create a title that could remain relevant to a wide audience beyond the event. We chose to represent the legacy of humankind through the construction of the ultimate Ark: the orbital space vessel ISS Legacy X. A repository of everything most valuable to us, the ISS Legacy is designed as an untouchable safeguard. A collection that preserves and juxtaposes humankind’s achievements and the diversity of the natural world, and which asks us to confront the complex relationship between the two.
