Major Fun award-winning Rafael Lozano-Hemmer creates Olympic Light Art

According to Switched The ten, online user-controlled (yes, really, go ahead and try it while you still can) search lights currently installed on each side of Vancouver's English Bay is the work of none other than Major Fun Award-winner Rafael Lozano-Hemmer!

"Ah!" says I, and also "ha!" How satisfying it is to see a Major Fun award-winner earn something closely equivalent to gold medal Olympic recognition for playfulness.

This opportunity has been a long time coming. Lozano-Hemmer debuted his Vectoral Elevation in Mexico, ten years ago!
