although june 21st was the longest day of the year in canada, it may have seemed even longer to
residents of cambridge, ontario thanks to a new interactive light installation which began on the
summer solstice. ‘solar collector’ is a project by gorbet design commisioned by the region of
waterloo. the sculpture consists of 12 illuminated metal shafts, all of which are solar powered,
arranged in a graceful curve. each night the project will come to life through a series of animated
light shows, which are created over the web. the entire piece coordinates itself to interact with
the sun’s positioning.
