The City is pushing to install a large “urban digital screen” on the west side of the new Games Preparation Centre. The plan is to install a high-powered data projector on a tower, which will then illuminate the wall of the building with imagery.
The first round of imagery will be the Glocal project, part of the Cultural Capitals of Canada award, which forms relational links between over 5,000 pictures which have been submitted from across the world.
It’s estimated that up to 30,000 people daily will see the public art.
The City is currently short $51,250 to complete the installation, but is seeking federal funding for the shortfall.
