Two new digital, interactive public art installations—Prismatica by Toronto’s Raw Design and Fascinoscope by Montreal’s Lüz Studio—will be part of the fifth annual Luminothérapie festival in Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles until February 1, 2015.
Luminothérapie commissions light-based works to help make the area a major attraction during the winter. Interactivity plays a growing role in this edition. The public can make Prismatica’s 50 giant prisms (pictured above) rotate at any time of day and play Fascinoscope’s video-projected carnival games (example pictured below) after nightfall.
“By presenting new works every year, the event democratizes public, interactive art and brings a playful, creative touch to winter,” says Jacques Primeau, chair of the Quartier des Spectacles partnership.
