An interactive, exterior and permanent screen in Montreal: a first in northern America!
After having fun with the dynamic canopy installed on La Vitrine at the two last editions of la Nuit Blanche festival, both Montrealeans and visitors can now enjoy it every evening! This interactive screen, which is currently illuminating the façade of La Vitrine, is equipped with a high technology system, enabling passers-by to interact with the luminous forms, generated by 35 000 LED bulbs. The Quartier des spectacles Partnership and La Vitrine invite the public to come and discover the dynamic screen, every evening of the year, from 7pm to 11pm, summer and winter!
“Through the playful and interactive aspect of this installation, we are once again innovating with the Quartier des spectacle’s lighting plan. This project redefines the traditional architectural façade enabling passers-by to interact with it by playing with the luminous forms that are displayed. Thanks to the talents of the creators from Moment Factory, who won the Grand Prix Créativité Montréal 2008 in the Urban integration – Urban development category for this installation, we are taking another step towards the creation of a unique urban experience, which we want to be assertive and distinctive in the Quartier des spectacles”, comments Charles Lapointe, President of the Partnership.
