Donning a spectrum of colors and moving beams of light, the "Unnumbered Sparks" installation comes to life every night as it hovers near the site of the 30th anniversary TED2014 world conference in downtown Vancouver, Canada.
Artist Janet Echelman and director of the Google Data Art Group Aaron Koblin -- who both spoke at TED2011 -- collaborated in designing the aerial sculpture just in time for TED2014. Echelman officially introduced the work earlier this week at the conference.
The 745-foot net, which is powered by Google Chrome and other modern web technologies, can be choreographed by visitors using their smartphones or tablets to "paint" the sculpture in real time.
Visitors in the area will be able to interact with Unnumbered Sparks every night until Saturday, March 22.
Check out the video below to see the creative process behind the piece.

Sensitive work towards urban change . Great installation to explore since you are in the city . Less material create illusionistic appearance.
