Make the most of the Montreal winter with effet domino, a Luminothérapie event.
Ingrid Ingrid delivers a fun and entertaining experience that brings people together and fosters a spirit of cooperation. domino effect consists of 120 dominos brightly coloured distributed across several stations in different ways, creating a wide range of sound and lighting effects.
The participative and collaborative installation, domino effect, will charm you with its tropical and vintage colors.
A WINTER PLAYGROUND IN THE QUARTIER DES SPECTACLES
Drop the dominoes one after the other to trigger a musical harmony and form a colorful arc and bright pastel tones. The resulting : a multi-coloured domino orchestra.
Every set features a different sound profile : vocals, percussion, marimba, balafon, flute. Since each domino makes its own unique sound, visitors can even play DJ by “scratching” a domino, spinning it at different speeds or drumming on it with their fingers.
Play together to put the dominoes back up and up again or push them back to reverse the sound sequence.
A positive amd energizing outing to forget the winter gloom !
ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTION SIGNED
by NOUVELLE ADMINISTRATION
The installation is rounded out by an architectural projection on UQAM’s Pavillon Président-Kennedy, created by Nouvelle administration. It combines graphical codes and visual tricks referencing dominos. Space, sound and colour are central to this exploration in which sounds trigger chain reactions and novel dispersal patterns of the dominos.
The projection’s graphical world is a visual transposition of the music, inspired by the sounds of the domino stations. The vibrant hues and dynamic animations contrast with the whiteness of winter, while the black dot, a reference to classic dominos, attaches itself to the images.
