Description
Two modified coin-operated telescopes served as an optical "mouse" letting visitors browse floating public-submitted images and video of Stanley Park; a separate "Blow Down" gallery used motion sensors to trigger an interactive audio experience memorializing the windstorm that felled 40% of the park's trees.
