Should you happen to be in Ontario for the summer solstice this year (shouldn't we all?!), drop by the Solar Collector, a solar-powered, web-connected, interactive sculpture by Matt Gorbet, Rob Gorbet, and Susan Gorbet. The form is made up of shafts faced with solar panels that are oriented to reflect the angles of the sun through the changing seasons. During the day, the sculpture collects energy and at dusk the lights on the shafts come to life with graceful patterns that are created by the community via the web.
Join Gorbet Design on June 21st at 8:30pm, 100 Maple Grove Road, Cambridge, Ontario, to see the sculptures come to life.
