‘You Were Here’ is an interactive light installation that uses motion tracking of people walking by to animate the lighted butterflies.

​

The installation alludes to the beauty found in loving something that is lost and aims to acknowledge a person’s presence, however brief it may be.

​

The installation is made of hundreds of individually lit butterflies.  Each butterfly was 3D printed and individually shaped to create a unique creature.  The hundreds of LED lights are controlled using the program, TouchDesigner.

​

It was made specifically for the site at 721 Queen St E.
