Amid the hundreds of ships that come and go from Port of Auckland each year - one alone stands still - ablaze through the night.
It's called The Lightship - a 110 metre long, 13-metre high wall of 8,500 individually programmed LED lights that's attached to the western facade of the Port's Bledisloe Wharf.
From tonight a new season of contemporary artists' work will be launched, starting with Esther Stewart, through to next August. So what will Aucklanders be able to see shining out over the inner harbour?
Simon Bowerbank is the Director of Whangarei Art Museum and he's curating this year's season. He explains the incredible process of getting art onto the Lightship.
