I’ve been shortlisted for Mapping and Marking Vancouver 2010, Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Project based on a proposal that I made for slow-shifting coloured LED lights set on the top of six, 18 foot high poles on the Kingsway- three to the east and three to the west of Knight Street. I have to prepare for a technical review of my project for December 10th and then based on their feedback, to give a presentation to the selection panel early in January.

In my application I said that: my recent research focuses on observable, real-time coloured light events and environments. I am interested in exploring very slow-shifting coloured lights in exterior spaces. My particular interest is at twilight, as daylight fades and artificial light takes over the illumination of an environment.

Lots of details to clarify, but the biggest are the shapes of the lights- the luminaires that will sit on the tops of these poles. There’s a lot of urban visual noise all around them.
