The City of North Vancouver is proud to host Prismatica, an internationally renowned immersive light installation, which will be lit up Saturday, March 7, to April 1 on the Burrard Dry Dock Pier at The Shipyards.
The large scale immersive and interactive installation features 25 pivoting prisms that transform public spaces into a kaleidoscope. Each prism stands 7'6" tall and is covered in a special film that reflects all the colors of the rainbow depending on the type of light and the viewing angle. After sunset, internal projectors light up the interactive kaleidoscope and give the project an additional dimension. The towers can be moved and spun and are safe for all ages.
Originally created for Montréal’s main entertainment district Quartier des Spectacles, the exhibit has travelled globally, lighting up over 50 cities including London, Lugarno, New York, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver.
Exhibit Background
The exhibit was created by Toronto-based multidisciplinary architecture firm RAW Design, in collaboration with ATOMIC3 and Jean-François Piché. Prismatica is one of several public artworks produced by Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles Partnership with eventual touring factored into the design.
QDSinternational is a non-profit affiliate that produces and distributes participatory installations for public spaces in collaboration with creative partners, co-producers and exhibitors around the world.
