The shimmer wall light up party is tonight

By now you probably know I’m a big fan of the shimmer wall that adorns the side of the Raleigh Convention Center.  At 8:45 tonight it will officially be lit (although the lights have been tested already and some of us caught the scene).

At rest the almost 80,000 4-inch by 4-inch pixels will offer a clear depiction of a mighty oak in shades of silver. And yet this oak tree will be ever changing. The flow from the boilers and chillers; the natural breeze, the whoosh of the stream of cars along McDowell will keep the image at flux. As will the shifting slant of sun rays. Adding further to the uniqueness of this shimmer wall will be the back lighting from Cree’s LEDs. And the LED colors will vary, depending on the season, the celebration – whenever and whatever!
