MEDALTA Historic Clay District Artistic Director, Aaron Nelson's latest exhibition at the Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre in Medicine Hat is titled, appropriately enough, Connectivity.

The exhibition has two very large, and interactive, ceramic chandeliers which are lit by text message controlled LED spirals. So far the chandeliers have received over 6000 text messages! 

For the last 3 days of the exhibition, we are aiming to have interactions with the chandeliers by people in 50 countries around the world. All you have to do is text a message with your colour choice to one or both of these free numbers by December 7:

1.647.560.0728 and 1.647.560.0832. 

Watch your colour change take place in the Esplanade Art Gallery on the live feed at aaronnelson.ca. 

If you are texting from an international location, check with your carrier to see if charges apply.
