Studio Echelman installed its largest, most interactive sculpture
installation to date at the TED Conference’s 30th anniversary, March
2014. The monumental aerial sculpture spanned 745 feet between the
24-story Fairmont Waterfront and the Vancouver Convention Center,
challenging the artist to work on her most ambitious scale yet – over
twice the size of her largest previous sculpture.
The sculpture was presented with an original, interactive work
created in collaboration with artist Aaron Koblin, Creative Director of
the Data Arts Team in Google’s Creative Lab. At night the sculpture came
to life as visitors were able to choreograph the lighting in real time
using physical gestures on their mobile devices. Vivid beams of light
were projected across a massive scale as the result of small movements
on spectators’ phones.

Ethereal by day, and dramatic by night!
