Art can often make sense of things that otherwise boggle the mind—things like loogans turning police cars into roman candles, say, or looting tuxedos they will never wear.

That's why we're looking forward to Art in Public Protest: Vancouver Riot Detox, an event being put on Wednesday night (June 22) from 9 to 11:30 p.m. by Dropout Video Arts, the same people who brought you the Video Projection-Arts Expo in March.

In the park at Richards and Dunsmuir streets, the group will make 20-foot-high projections of slow-motion video footage captured during the riot, interlaced with text and tweets expressing public sentiment.

The group's site reads: "If you feel frustrated by these events and want to support other modes of expression, drop by for a reflective moment in one of downtown Vancouver's park sanctuary's at the corner of Richards & Dunsmuir."

The timing of the installation is no coincidence: it's just about one week to the minute since all hell broke loose. Yes, it will have already been seven days.
