Participants can create a light display on the project's Web site, VectorialVancouver.net, where they will also find a virtual model of Vancouver. Users create instructions for a new night-time display by setting the angles and power of the searchlights. The information is then queued in a server that operates the robotically maneuvered lights. The searchlights quietly project a new image every 12 seconds. For those who can't see it in person, the entire show is captured live via four Web cameras set up around Vancouver.

This course is all about understanding: understanding what's going on inside your computer when you flip on the switch, why tech support has you constantly rebooting your computer, how everything you do on the Internet can be watched by others, and how your computer can become infected with a worm just by turning it on. In this course we demystify computers and the Internet, along with their jargon, so that students understand not only what they can do with each but also how it all works and why. Students leave this course armed with a new vocabulary and equipped for further exploration of computers and the Internet. Topics include hardware, software, the Internet, multimedia, security, website development, programming, and dotcoms. This course is designed both for those with little, if any, computer experience and for those who use a computer every day.
