The 5th edition of LUMINOTHÉRAPIE presents this contest to bring forward and animate public spaces of the Quartier des spectacles ; it is an annual get-together for designers whom contribute to brighten Montréal winter all the while enhancing the neighbourhood image.
With LUMINOTHÉRAPIE, public space becomes an open-air museum, a field of liberties and possibilities, a multi-sensory laboratory inviting people of all ages to participate, in a festive and playful winter atmosphere. It is in this mindset that talented artists create innovative works of design that shine on both the local and international scene.
LUMINOTHÉRAPIE is about creating a world that comes alive during the day and at night time, that composes with winter. It is an invitation to live a sensory, poetic, emotional and intelectual experience that brings its share of curiosity and surprise.
LUMINOTHERAPIE is also an interactive experience which allows the implication of the public as a necessary actor and cocreator of an unprecedented experience. Luminotherapie encourages new encounters and even sometimes cooperations between individuals.
Through this contest, the Quartier des spectacles is looking for a design to implement on the place des Festivals.
The work of the designers should be diurnal and nocturnal, participative, recreational, festive, luminous and multi-sensory. It must be part of the context of winter, of the Quartier all while respecting the particularities of the site. The work must speak to the public by its from and its content through the following objectives :
-Designing a significant and meaningful work in terms of contents and artistic process, all for the site, the Quartier des Spectacles and the city of Montreal.
- establishing a participative experience that create encounters and exchanges and allows the public and the environnement to interact with the work (cooperate, modify,transform, add to, enhance, etc.) and to be a part of it at the same level as its components.
-Creating a dialog between, the work and the public to generate a real-time and unique result.
-Creating a festive, playful and bright atmosphere which by day and by night inserts itself in the winter context.
