Pandemik Piks, Deanne Achong, 2020 – Georgia and Howe Streets, Vancouver

Thrilled to announce my project Pandemik Piks, was commissioned for the City of Vancouver’s Public Art Program “Platforms 2020: Public Works“.

Between the what felt like endless smoke filled days and the pandemic itself I didn’t get to document the work till Tuesday. I’m thrilled with the locations.

There are 20 digital signage screens over 8 locations. Most are bus shelters, but some like at Georgia and Howe are independent screens.

September 7th to October 4, 2020

Locations:

  • Cambie / Broadway (in front of London Drugs)
  • Davie / Mainland
  • Richards / Robson
  • Granville / Robson (x 2)
  • Georgia / Hornby (back of Vancouver Art Gallery)
  • Burrard / Georgia
  • Burrard / Robson

Platforms 2020 is a large public art project featuring many artists. “The public art program is being launched on transit shelters, billboards, and video screens throughout the city. ” Read more here: https://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/platforms-2020.aspx
