NUIT BLANCHE 2018
PROJECT #56
CLOUD GARDENS, TORONTO, ON
IN COLLABORATION WITH CITYLIGHTS TORONTO
AND ARTIST DAVID ROKEBY



Under the direction of Canadian artist David Rokeby, I worked with fellow architecture students, lighting designers, and electrical engineers to design and set up an interactive lighting installation for Nuit Blanche 2018. Located in Cloud Gardens Park in downtown Toronto, the unique space, containing architectural, water, and natural features, presents a dialogue between nature and the city. This project expanded on this conversation using interactive lighting to transform the park into a dynamic play of energy ricocheting, rippling, and caroming around and among these elements. Several microphones stationed around the park allowed the visiting public to trigger and channel this play of visual energy across the canvas of the park using their voices.
