VANCOUVER WOULD BE COOLER IF #211: A Cinema Centipede Was Installed On Robson

1

(via) Bartlett School of Architecture professor Colin Fournier, Polish artist Marysia Lewandowska, and London studio NEON joined forces in the Portuguese town of Guimarães to construct a covered (but nevertheless outdoor) cinema with room for 16 heads and shoulders. It’s called “Centipede Cinema” because – with the legs of the theatre goers exposed – it looks just like that. While it would an interesting installation just about anywhere in the city, it would make a particularly nice addition to VIVA Vancouver’s colourful patio on Robson. The one in Portugal shows an hour long loop of 20 trailers. What would ours show?
