THE TUNNEL by BIG ART

A journey to a bright future this fall at Discovery Green

Sep 5 – Oct 6 

6 am – 11 pm

Discovery Green invites you on a journey to a bright future this fall at The TUNNEL. Visitors will experience 12-foot-tall structures arranged to form a 100-foot long tunnel of magical light beckoning you to explore. Other visitors may serve as “pilots” using an interactive device to manipulate the array and guide your path. Over 150 LED bars are pixel-mapped to create of vortex of light, pulling visitors through.

This interactive art installation was created by the Canadian group Big Art and the tour producer is Creos.

McGovern Playground, the Mist Tree, and the Kinder Large Dog and the Harriet and Joe Foster Dog Runs, making it a perfect place for family get-togethers, such as reunions or birthday parties.
