AMN : Montréal in an aquarium, illuminated by radioflashes

Pardon me??? No, you read well. It is a project created by Nicolas Reeves. A multidisciplinary project called Archi-Fictions. An architect and a writer create a collective artwork, which will be presented by an actor. Architecture, literature, thater. I forgot to mention there's some serious technology as well. I was in charge of designing and developing the control system. A 3D scale model in resin represents some parts of Montréal. It's sunk in a homemade mix of water and coloring substance, so that the city is invisible. A computer listens to the radio, scanning the FM spectrum, and depending on activity of radiofrequences, flashes a set of lights that makes the city visible. Such a flash can be seen on the 1st pic. 2nd one shows actor Marcel Pomerlo reading the text written by author Jean-François Chassay. This project is on display at galerie Monopoli on St-Antoine in Montréal till June 10. More here.
