    CPC2020-0430 Attachment 1 Applicant Submission February 5, 2020 On behalf of TELUS, O2 Planning + Design (O2) proposes to redesignate the parcel at 622 1st Street SW to enable the development of a unique digital art installation that will transform the 1st Street SW and 7th Avenue SW streetscapes. The intent is to install an interactive digital display that is integrated into the first storey of the 7th Avenue façade, with an additional screen setback within the concourse of the building at the corner of 7th Avenue and 1st Street SW. The displays will function predominantly as a public art piece while also providing community outreach and advertising services. Above all else, the displays form the centerpiece of TELUS’ commitment to improving the public realm around the TELUS campus, creating a safe, engaging, and vibrant experience for the public. Facilitating the proposed digital art installation requires redesignating from the current land use, DC 5D2014 Site 2 and 3, to a new DC that includes a newly defined Digital Art Installation use. O2 will work collaboratively with administration to prepare a new DC district that includes a definition for the proposed use that balances the intent of the proposal with the requirements of the City. 7th Avenue SW is among Calgary’s most important transit corridors as it transports the LRT through downtown. It is one of the most heavily travelled corridors in the City, used daily by tens of thousands of Calgarians. It also forms part of the first impression of downtown for many visitors to Calgary, as it is a component of the City’s Civic District, anchored by the Municipal Building, Olympic Plaza, the new Central Library, and Stephen Avenue.

    Matthew Schreiber a Solid Laser Illusion

    Matthew Schreiber A Solid Laser Illusion By Catarina Marques April 12, 2018 At seven years old, Matthew Schreiber was already trying to build his first laser. At fifteen, he made his first laser installation. Since then, inspired by art history, pop culture, and sci-fi movies, the Brooklyn-based creative has been mastering the art of light while exploring how can it amplify a volume of space. At first, his work may feel intangible as it assembles a sci-fi movie or a computer simulation, but it isn’t. It isn’t an illu- sion, it’s very solid and real. Ready to get in? Who are you and where do you come from? I’m Matthew Schreiber and I grew up in Cleveland (Ohio), but I currently live and have a studio in Brooklyn (New York). How did your interest in art start? When I was five years old, my parents gave me a book where you learn to draw along with a television show. That is when it all began. And what about your interest in light, lasers, holograms and such ‘special effects’? How did those practices develop till today? When I was seven years old, I tried to build a laser. When I was fifteen – in high school –, in my physics class I made my first laser installation. In undergraduate school I earned a Fine Arts Degree in Painting, but I continued my study in lasers, more specifically holography. Johannes Vogt Gallery 958 Madison Ave New York, NY 10021 How was it to work with James Turrell for so many years? What were the biggest lessons you learnt from it? Working for James was amazing and perfect for what I have been interested in (light and space).
