Under artificial skies

Résumé

Under Artificial Skies is a smart installation depicting the issue of light pollution and energy waste in Montreal. It is to be installed in the business district of Place Ville Marie, an area solely occupied by office and commercial spaces. Due to the lack of residential housing, there should be very little light during the night. The installation consists of an LED screen that is connected to a data set quantifying the amount of energy wasted overnight due to light pollution. The screen depicts a birds-eye-view of a heat map of downtown Montreal that will respond to the data, glowing brighter as the energy waste is increased.
