Add a little more shine to Vancouver’s skyline by taking control of Science World’s nighttime lights. Tangible Interaction, a Vancouver based company, is teaming up with Science World again this summer to bring OH! back to Olympic Village in August.

This free interactive art installation allows participants to control Vancouver’s night skyline by changing the lights on Science World. The installation opens at 9:30 pm on Friday, August 3rd.


The scale model of the geodesic dome is covered with 240 sensors and LEDs and can sense the movement of people’s hands, altering the lights on the iconic building in real time. There are six different animations that have variations in colours and patterns, including sparkles, bands, waves and more.

Time: 9:30-11:30pm
Where: 1 Athletes Way (across from Tap & Barrel in Olympic Village)
