TED Art: Unnumbered Sparks

Skies Painted with Unnumbered Sparks is a floating 745-foot sculpture by Janet Echelman, in collaboration with Google Creative Lab director Aaron Koblin, that interacts with the public through cell phones.

It will hang between the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel and the Vancouver Convention Centre during the TED Conference until March 23.
