A few nights ago, Vancouver debuted one of the many art pieces in the 2010 Cultural Olympiad. Called Vectorial Elevation, it's an interactive light show over the downtown area. There are 20 huge spotlights positioned around English Bay that can be directed by anyone around the world via the website. So the lights are going every night and basically any time you look up, they're moving according to someone's design.
I had seen them a bit when I was walking to various places over the last couple nights but I decided to walk down to English Bay and see the lights in a proper fashion. Going down to Kits Beach wasn't the best viewing place so I walked east along the water until I was in Vanier Park. I haven't been down in this area much but it was perfect for looking over the water onto downtown. I could see exactly where all the lights are positioned so the beams' movements were all clear. I think this is probably the best place in Vancouver to see the show.
I don't have the requisite skills to take pictures of spotlights at night so I can't show you my vantage point. But trust me, it looks good.
