If you’ve been enjoying the balmy night weather along the seawall or out in Vanier Park or False Creek in the past week or so then you’ve probably been witness to the new CODE – Cultural Olympiad Digital Edition – light installation called, Vectorial Elevation.

Created by Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, the installation consists of 20 super high-intensity industrial searchlights – 10,000 watts a piece and mounted on robotic fixtures – and is turning the night sky in Vancouver into a laser light show for the ages!

The choreography of the lights can be programmed by people anywhere in the world via their website and can also be seen via Google Earth.

Pretty amazing as Dan Fairchild’s photos confirm.
