99 Red Beacons

99 flashing red balloons tour the city, each one with a morse code message of a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. Inspired by the Cold War song 99 Luftballons, "99 Red Beacons" deals with the themes of invisible communication & military influence. This is the application that tracks the participants of the artwork during the night to be displayed at SAW Gallery. This application was made possible because of the generosity of Nuit Blanche Ottawa + Gatineau, Ontario Arts Council, and SAW Gallery.
