Description
Artist Janet Echelman and Aaron Koblin, creative director at Google’s creative lab, have collaborated to create “Unnumbered Sparks” a monumental interactive sculpture in the sky, billowing silently overhead visitors to downtown Vancouver, Canada. The ethereal net spanning 745 ft between buildings shimmers with a vibrantly colored glow, punctuating the urban landscape as it floats above ground. Visitors with smartphones and tablets are able to paint vivid beams of light across the sculpture at a massive scale; small movements made on phones become nearly hundred foot long trails on its surface. The team explains “the lighting on the sculpture is actually a single full screen Google Chrome window over 10 million pixels in size.” The sculpture premiered at the TED Conference’s 30th anniversary.
