You Were Here Temporary Light Installation

An interactive storefront light installation by Meghan Cheng

You Were Here is a temporary motion-sensitive light installation in a Toronto east-end storefront composed of hundreds of 3D-printed butterflies. As passersby stroll past the business establishment, the butterflies emit a stream of light for an interactive public art experience. Public art projects like these are a great way to engage local community members, animate empty or established storefronts, and build economic development and tourism.
