Light, creativity and Nordic life all come together with Lumino, Montreal’s essential winter event.
Discover participative, contemplative and luminous works both indoors and out. Succumb to the charms of an evolving and stunning program that warms up cold winter nights in the Quartier des Spectacles and the downtown core. Place des Arts will host three of these works:
AT THE HAND
From November 28, 2024 to January 5, 2025
With a title based on a pun (At The End), At The Hand is a volumetric sculpture that encourages visitors to experience an original moment of introspection. By combining artificial intelligence and computer vision, this colossal, immersive installation offers the public the opportunity to control a giant holographic hand. This experience also encourages a reflection on the power dynamics between human beings and machines and the reciprocal control of one over the other. The work, which ironically uses technology, seeks to remind us that it is what we do with our hands every day that defines who we are…
ORB
From October 1, 2024 to October 1, 2029
ORB is a majestic illuminated art installation created by Spanish urban artist SpY. The sculpture's complex surface, consisting of ninety convex discs made of polished steel, reflects the surrounding space, creating a sophisticated kaleidoscopic effect. With his dynamic and minimalist style, SpY invites you to reconsider your perception of space, movement and light. The artwork’s appearance gradually changes throughout the day and night, exhibiting very different qualities depending on the changing light and capturing beautiful sunrises and sunsets in a special way.
Unveiling of the third work to come!
Come see them on the Esplanade at Place des Arts—it’s free of charge and open to everyone from 4 pm to 11 pm.
