Tech-inspired mural showcases Canada’s innovative contributions

A tech-inspired mural was unveiled in downtown Windsor Friday morning.

The mural was created by the Haunted Zoo and is found on the Red Piston building on Chatham Street, just east of Caesars Windsor.

It includes elements of Canadian tech innovation and invention from walkie talkies to the telephone and zippers.

When you step back, onlookers will see the mural is actually a Canadian flag.

The mural is part of a docu-series produced in conjunction with Gavin Michael Booth to be aired on Bell Fibe.

“It’s showcasing so much of the Canadian innovation, so the innovation that is Canada’s gift to the world. It’s also a display of partnership. This collaboration between Red Piston and Haunted Zoo and what can happen when tech and art come together,” said CEO of WEtech Alliance Yvonne Pilon.

Usually, I do things almost neon - so I had to kind of innovate myself as well at the same time, but I’m super happy that it’s finally done and finally dropped. On to the next one,” said Haunted Zoo artist Jeff Denomme.
