Vectorial Elevation, an award winning installation created by Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, created a quiet canopy of moving lights in the night sky above English Bay during the period of February 4-28, 2012. Viewers were invited to choerograph the installation's 20 robotic lights over the internet to create their own patterns. The designs changed every eight seconds, and the light sequences were visible from 15 kilometres away.
Co-commissioned by the City of Vancouver and Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, presented by Bell, with support from the Province of Quebec. Developed in consultation with the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, Vectorial Elevation is part of CODE: the 2010 Cultural Olympiad's digital edition, an 18-day digital arts event at venues and locations throughout the city.
