This forest of stylized trees made of steel and transparent acrylic invites visitors for a stroll paced by the trees’ echoes, expressed in sound and light. Visitors’ messages are recorded by microphones installed in some of the trees, transferred to a computer, and reproduced through trees fitted with speakers or lights, either as echoes or variations in light intensity.
Presented outside Saint-Laurent metro station, from December 15, 2011 to February 26, 2012.

ABOUT LUMINOTHÉRAPIE
Launched through an initiative of the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership in 2010, Luminothérapie has a two-fold vocation. Its goals are to give Montrealers and visitors an original winter experience in the Quartier des Spectacles, and to promote Montreal as a city of design, and to stimulate creativity in the disciplines of urban installations and digital art.
Each year, a competition is held by the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership , inviting competitors to form multidisciplinary teams and propose installations and video projections with a strong urban design component, with input from all artistic disciplines. Thanks to this process, the event encourages not only creativity but the emergence of new artistic practices.
