LUMINOTHÉRAPIE | COEUR BATTANT
Daily: from 12:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
A LIGHT, SOUND AND INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION
Loop turns Place des Festivals into a retro-futuristic playground. This interactive work consists of 12 giant zoetropes that play short flipbook-style movies by Quebec illustrators, inspired by local literary works, among others, Joséphine Bacon, Dany Laferrière and Wajdi Mouawad. The animations, carried out and the support of SODEC, are accompanied by sound emanating from the centre of each giant wheel and a video projection on the façade of UQAM’s Pavillon Président-Kennedy.
The installation is inspired by the zoetrope, an optical toy invented in the 19th century. Loop combines elements of the music box, zoetrope and railway handcar. Sit down inside the zoetrope, pump the bar, and make the image cylinder turn. The pictures will spring into motion. The images, tinted by a strobe effect, are reminiscent of the earliest movies. The speed of the animation, the frequency at which the light flickers and the tempo of the music are all determined by how fast you move the bar.
