According to Pierre-Alexandre Le Lay of RAW Design, the Toronto-based firm behind Prismatica, "each surface reflects different colours depending on the angle of the light source and the viewing angle."

You can enjoy two different experiences depending on if you go during the day or night.

After dark, the shapes not only spin but glow.

Movie buffs might recognize this art installation as it briefly appeared in the action movie John Wick: Chapter 2.

For those of you searching for things to do outdoors, this would be perfect.

Prismatica

Price: Free

When: Until Sunday, October 25, 2020

Address: Sparks St., Ottawa, ON

Why You Need To Go: You are free to interact with the shapes and take some dazzling photos.
