Nuit Blanche September 23, 2023 \/ 7 pm \u2013 7 am<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richmond 401 & Commerce Court<\/strong> \/ by Elin MacRae<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micki-Lee Smith with Adam Kaleta and Zakriya Bashir-Hill, Submerge, <\/em>multi-media composition using \u201cnaturally derived samples\u201d, in addition to electronically produced sound, it represents the ways in which sound can be a form of pollution. In a dark and near-empty room at 401 Richmond, there stands a glowing fa\u00e7ade of water, waves moving at the whim of a nob adjusting the vibrations\u2019 intensities. Audiences experience the perspective of underwater environments disrupted by booming and haunting sounds. This installment is a larger statement about the human impact of noise pollution on our oceans.  <\/p>\n\n\n

As shakers, tingshas, speakers, and singers project into the microphone, the art forming on the brick wall of 401 Richmond responds to the sound, reacting in vibrant and dazzling ways. This interactive installation speaks about how increasingly divorced humans are the result of isolating themselves from the natural world, and from one another. The art encourages the viewer (and noise-maker) to imagine a prosperous and flourishing world, where every voice matters.<\/p>\n\n\n

Magfoto and Cymatiste, Urban Arboretum, <\/em>2023, interactive installation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With phragmite reeds gathered from High Park, Indigenous artist Bonnie Devine and her team braided and assembled the grass in a large circle to create a focus for interaction and awareness. Throughout the night, the circle was animated by performances from Dr. Duke Redbird, Raven Davis, Maria Hupfield, and Ange Loft. Situated in Commerce Court, the intention of this installation is to invite discussion and dialogue regarding this location\u2019s past, present, and future, and to learn about the rich cultural history of Indigenous folk.<\/p>\n\n\n
