Digital art enters the three-dimensional world with “Digital Orca” by artist, author and Vancouverite Douglas Coupland. The pixelated sculpture outside the Vancouver Convention Centre is among the city’s more than 260 pieces of public art. The work juxtaposes nature and technology, adding an element of the unexpected to this symbol of the wild West Coast.

Just across from the Audain Art Museum, look for “A Timeless Circle” by Coast Salish artist Susan Point. Cast in bronze, the sculpture features 86 faces—each unique and first hand-carved in cedar—which aim to capture and celebrate the diversity that the 2010 Winter Olympics brought to Whistler.
