Montréal-Mirabel International Airport Passenger Information Displays

In 2014 and 2016, we acquired two very large ‘Solari boards’ (aka ‘split-flap’ information displays) from the soon-to-be demolished Montréal-Mirabel International Airport passenger terminal (IATA code YMX). As part of the ongoing Montreal Signs Project at Concordia University, the signs were completely rewired to be directly programmable, and were featured in the media installation YMX, created in collaboration with artist Cheryl Sim.
