Description
TRANSPOtting is comprised of 80 LED panels which are embedded in a sound wall. The visual experience of lights cycling different colours, intensities, and patterns through LED panels is cued from input from the OC Transpo bus schedule. As the first bus driver of the day leaves the terminal, the wall begins to pulse with a different colour for each bus route. As the number of buses at a given distance increases, the wall becomes brighter, an ever-flowing river of multicoloured lights. The activity continues to build and decline throughout the rush hours and lulls in the day. As the day winds down the intensity and light along the wall recedes until the final bus returns. The wall acts as a heat map of the bustling movement of buses throughout the city, captivating the public as they wait for their own bus to arrive and join the light network. Eos Lightmedia is a Vancouver based design company which creates immersive environments.
