Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox artwork Digital Orca is a 2009 sculpture of a killer whale by Douglas Coupland, installed next to the Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1] The powder coated aluminium sculpture on a stainless steel frame is owned by Pavco, a crown corporation of British Columbia which operates BC Place Stadium and the Vancouver Convention Centre.[1]
History
The sculpture was installed in 2009 and commissioned by the city of Vancouver.[2]
In 2022, a group protesting the logging of old-growth forests in British Columbia spray painted landmarks around Vancouver, including Digital Orca.[3]
Description
The sculpture is located at Jack Poole Plaza in Vancouver, Canada.[4] The sculpture depicts a killer whale created by black and white cubes,[5] creating a visual effect as if it were a pixellated digital image. The sculpture has a steel armature and aluminum cladding.[2]
Reception
It was described as "both beautiful and bizarre" in Architectural Design.[2] John Ortved in Vogue said the statue "grapples with modernization and the digital age" by making the killer whale less scary.[6]
