Colorimètre

A permanent comission for Maison Manuvie building in Montreal. The piece consists of 500 colour panels arranged in a grid. The piece features a surveillance system that does not track people, but rather saturated colors that may be present in the atrium. When a saturated colour is detected, the camera automatically zooms and tracks it so the atrium itself adopt the colour.
