Kelowna residents are encouraged to interact with Artist in Residence Lucas Glenn91Ƶs project that will animate several community parks. 

Lucas91Ƶ project M.A.S.S.I.V.E. is a mobile, interactive art installation aimed at getting residents to think creatively and critically about climate change and relationships with nature and each other. 

91ƵWith salvaged tech connected to solar and power tool batteries, I hope this DIY installation creates small opportunities for intentional ecological exchange,91Ƶ Lucas said in a media release. 91ƵI invite visitors to share water with Ponderosas, or to DJ for a bush of Oregon grape plants.91Ƶ

Rather than focusing on grand climate solutions, this project uses small, creative, and even anti-climactic gestures for living alongside plants he added.

You can find and interact with Lucas91Ƶ project between 1-4 p.m. in the following parks this fall:  

  • Knowles Heritage Park - Saturday, Sept. 14;
  • Ben Lee Park - Saturday, Sept. 21; 
  • Knox Mountain Park 1st lookout - Saturday, Sept. 28; 
  • Rotary Marsh Park - Saturday, Oct 5.

 
91ƵWe are thrilled with Lucas91Ƶ project and can91Ƶt wait for residents to experience it for themselves," said Christine McWillis, cultural services manager. 91ƵThis year91Ƶs theme of climate change is fitting as our community and we, as individuals, grapple with the realities of a changing climate.91Ƶ
