The sparkling lights on Science World’s dome can be all yours to play with this August.
A new interactive art installation will make it possible for people on shore to control the nightly display.
People are invited to gather at the southeast side of False Creek to take a turn at creating their own light show every Friday and Saturday night. By running their hands over an interactive orb, their movements will be mimicked on the Science World dome.
The orb was created by Tangible Interactive as a way of creating a fun, shared experience for everyone.
“Technology can drive a wedge between people but this gets them connecting and chatting through a shared experience,” says spokesperson Larissa Dundon.

Although the first weekend of August is dedicated to the rainbow colours of Pride, the public will be given a myriad of choices on the other weekends. Staff will be available for two hours after dusk every Friday and Saturday night. Opening weekend also includes the Sunday night (August 6).
