Digital Orca, Modern art sculpture at Jack Poole Plaza, Vancouver, Canada.
The Digital Orca sculpture stands 25 feet tall, constructed from powder-coated aluminum blocks arranged in a pixelated pattern forming a leaping killer whale.
Created in 2009 by Douglas Coupland, this installation commemorates the maritime workers who shaped the development of Burrard Inlet and Coal Harbour.
The sculpture represents the connection between Vancouver's natural environment and technological progress through its digital interpretation of marine wildlife.
Located next to the Vancouver Convention Centre, the sculpture provides a central meeting point with direct access to the waterfront seawall path.
Each aluminum block in the sculpture features specific colors reflecting the industrial materials found throughout Vancouver's working waterfront.
