Our <\/span>Director<\/span> of <\/span>Development<\/span> and Touring, Jos\u00e9e Gu\u00e9rette, <\/span>had<\/span> the <\/span>honor<\/span> of <\/span>being<\/span> present<\/span>: “The <\/span>experience<\/span> is<\/span> stunning<\/span> and the kids are <\/span><\/span>highly<\/span> enthusiastic<\/span><\/span> about <\/span>it<\/span>!”<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Genesis of the project <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The installation <\/span>Biolumen<\/em> had the honor of winning the call for projects orchestrated by three Canadian co-production partners: the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership<\/a> de Montr\u00e9al, the City of Mississauga<\/a><\/span>,<\/span> and the City of Shawinigan<\/a>. The call for projects reflects the three organizations’ shared vision of public space as a territory to be explored by artists and the general public alike. The project gives creators the opportunity to design and present a large-scale interactive public installation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Artistic inspiration and intention<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Biolumen was inspired by Radiolaria, which are tiny single celled animals. Their name means \u2018small sunbeam.\u2019 Ocean floors are thick with their astonishingly beautiful skeletons, made from silica. Radiolaria live symbiotically with algae who feed them with sugars they make from sunlight. Some Radiolaria are bioluminescent because of the bacteria that live within them.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The visual and sonic harmonies created by this installation are a tribute to symbiosis, and the ideal of humans living in balance with nature.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0– Radha Chaddah, <\/span>Bi<\/em>olumen<\/em>\u2019s<\/span> creator<\/span>, <\/span>visual<\/span> artist<\/span> and <\/span>scientist

 <\/p>\n

A wonderful convergence of art and science\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Biolumen<\/em> was born of the alliance between Radha Chaddah<\/a>, a visual artist and scientist, and RAW Design<\/a>, an architecture firm.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Radha creates art about invisible realities using light as her primary means of expression. Her work examines the interconnectedness of our material reality, from the micro to the macro. In the laboratory, Radha uses the tools of scientific research to prepare, explore and image fragments of nature.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RAW Design was recognized as Ontario’s best emerging architecture firm in 2009. The talents that make up this organization conceptualize projects as a collective, with the help of their design expertise and a sensitivity for listening to specifications.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This Ontario union of urban thinking and natural sensibility has led to the creation of the ocean of light: Biolumen<\/em>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reconnect<\/span> with<\/span> the <\/span>natural<\/span> world <\/span>through<\/span> an interactive <\/span>experience<\/span> where<\/span> light, <\/span>sound<\/span> and texture combine to <\/span>create<\/span> a <\/span>space<\/span> where<\/span> art, science and nature merge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
