About

Luminous Flow transforms the pedestrian bridge over the Eau Claire lagoon into a living river of light, colour and shadow. Currents of flowing light travel across the bridge, drawing visitors toward the installation from the surrounding pathways and frozen lagoon. From an interactive control panel on the dock, you can disturb the flow, sending ripples and bursts of colour racing through the current. Like casting a stone into water, you create the first ripple, then watch as it becomes part of something larger. Skate beneath it, wander alongside it, or simply lose yourself watching light dance through the current like sunlight across water.

*Luminous Flow – A River of Animated Light is a brand new installation! This image is a mockup provided by the artist.
