River Orbs
Bow River, Calgary
I think seeing these floating down the river would be enjoyable to look at, but also kind of eerie, especially if you didn't know about it ahead of time.
The Bow River is in Calgary, Canada. It’s a gathering place, a picturesque landmark and a fishing haven that slices through the heart of the city. Calgary's public art department is going full boar this summer and its newest project is the beloved river. Celebration of the Bow is a summer-long series of installations, performances and residencies all focused on what the river means to the city. London-based artist Laurent Loyer’s orbs of light float down the river.

geez, im really diggin this post because it doesn't even look like they are floating on the water, and the different color lights are really neat and make the scenery look majestic. great post!
I wonder how they did that. I mean. Shouldn't they be a little bit covered by the water near the bottom of the orb? It looks like they're floating just above the surface of the river and you know. Defying physics. Would be amazing to see it in person.
Yeah, this kind of messes with your eyes a bit because you'd think they would be sitting in the water but they don't look like they are. For some reason they make me think of aliens, I suppose because they seem to be defying the laws of physics like Jesse said.
