Alzado Vectorial / Vectorial Elevation is an interactive public installation that allows the public to log into a website to design light sculptures along with their name, a dedication, location, and comments.

Submissions are then cued for “rendering” in real space by automated searchlights that are visible over a 15 km radius.
After rendering a personalized webpage is produced for every participant with images of their design and the information they provided.
