BIKE DECORATING “BLING” WORKSHOP
Hoping to take in the full event by bicycle? Want to be part of the show? Why not stop by the Bike Bling Workshop at 1800 Davie Plaza first? Here you can join artist Corey Redvers as he demonstrates and assists with the best way to “light your bike” in interesting ways. Then ride away through The Tunnel art installation as you set out to explore Lumiere in luminous style!
THE TUNNEL (BIG ART BY PAUL MAGNUSON)
Some of our most imaginative adventures start with a door, or portal, or a gate. Passing through these structures indicates the start of a journey beyond the known world into something transformative. The TUNNEL is a one-way trip to another side. A series of strange, 12 feet tall cosmic structures create a tunnel of magical light and sound.
LIFE IS A CIRCUS (SANDRA BÉRUBÉ)
Life Is A Circus is a gravity-defying, circusy interactive large-scale art installation. It is a whimsical scene that defies gravity. A zeppelin flying in the sky is transporting an elephant. A contortionist is hand-balancing on its trunk, peeking through a long telescope. A flock of a bird lives inside the aircraft and helps carry the elephant. The convoy seems like it’s hovering above the ground, attached to dock cleats and an anchor by ropes. The audience can pull on ropes dangling under the elephant to give them the motion of flying.
DAISY / EATART (SAM CARTER)
Daisy is the world’s largest solar-powered Tricycle. Built 20 years ago in California, she has been living in Vancouver since 2007 with the support of the eatART Foundation. She travels North America teaching people about the beauty that can exist when art, science, and community come together.
The eatART Foundation is a Vancouver-based educational charity that supports the community-driven creation of large-scale, technically sophisticated art with a focus on energy use.
Sam Carter works to create a spectacle by combining stories of humanity with the audacious mechanical sculpture built at the eatART Lab.
