An unusually cold New Year's Eve, the Canadian National Arts Center in Ottawa officially launched a three-storey building called Kipnes Lantern LED display project.
This is the largest transparency in North America LED display The screen fills the void in the capital's nascent architecture, which uses Vancouver's ClearLED Display technology And what was run by the Moment Factory in Montreal, the software now appears to be among the world's top digital display The project is among the best.
The new transparent grid LED display has been installed on all sides of the main NAC building. The LED grid allows viewing of the building's interior while creating a high definition video wall when opened.

With $ 5 million in remodeling gifts from Dr. Dianne Kipnes and Irving Kipnes in Edmonton and the NAC project team led by Bridget Mooney and Chris Dearlove, the Kipnes Lantern project uses bold, innovative ways of using transparent LED screens to tell Canadian artist's story.
Inspired by Peter Herrndorf, president and chief executive officer of the National Center for the Arts, one of his visions is to make NAC more transparent and visible, and to invite Canadians to join in. The project will feature on stage at NAC, the Vancouver Arts Club Theater, and Edmonton Opera Ballet performances and more.
'Kipnes Lantern is a performance-art vane demonstrating the breadth and excellence of music, theater and dance across Canada,' said Peter Herrndorf, a perfect example of our slogan: 'The whole of Canada is our stage.'
In addition, digital 'shorts', inspired by performing arts, will deliver a variety of whimsy throughout the year and will commemorate Canada's National Day, Armistice Day, National Day of Indigenous Peoples and other special festivals.
Kipnes Lantern's lighting also marks the beginning of a partnership with Moment Factory, known for its innovative multimedia attractions.
Sakchin Bessette, co-founder of Moment Plant, said: "Kipnes Lantern reflects NAC itself - a platform through which Canadians can share their cultures and innovations with others. 'This is where Canada's next 150-year story begins.'
It is also a promotional sign that you might hear from car dealership touted as room dividers, also used as a snack industry and convenience store, but it proved to be as effective in just 2-3 years Its appeal is to be able to cover the windows of a building while illuminating the building without the same weight and engineering implications as a 'regular' outdoor LED.
Jin Fan, CEO of ClearLED, talked about this project recently in my podcast.
She said, 'I also like to spend so much energy on a very good idea.'
At the beginning of the new year, I think we already have the biggest contender for the 2018 Digital Signage Awards.
