The Buckminster Fuller Geodesic Dome is at the highest point in the city. It will be the site for  ‘LED Down The Garden Path’.

LED: Light Emitting Diodes.

5.4  One More Than Three – Mountain View Cemetery 5-10pm  (Mar. 6, 2010)
Life, death and everything in between are constantly evolving. The idiom for death in Chinese is four. This site will bring together light and dark, silence and sound, living with the dead, and the 4 virtues: truth, bravery, non-violence and generosity, all transforming the modernist Celebration Hall into a installation space for encountering video art.

5.5  Five Elements – Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden 5-10pm (Mar.13, 2010)
The 5 elements: earth, air, fire, water and metal, and the five senses: sight, sound, taste, touch and smell are inspirations for making use of this spectacular 15th century compound of gardens, courtyards, waterways and architectural features in the heart of Chinatown. The contemporary, classical, pictorial and moving images, old and new schools are digitally meshed in this final experience.

5-10pm @ Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, 587 Carall Street (at Pender)
$10 at door or in advance

Public Transit: Expo Line Stadium - Chinatown
