By using biodegradable adhesive tape, “I’m putting in light the substance, the old, the new, the incongruousness, the organic, the volumes, the architecture, the holes. With it I’m cutting out the space and create a new one”. Well said, Mr Aurélien Nadaud!

Currently on view at the Place Des Festivals in Montreal, Impulse is a new public art installation comprised of 30 illuminated seesaws and a series of video-projections on nearby building facades. When the seesaws are used they “activate” and begin to emit various musical harmonies. The project is part of a collaboration between CS Design and Toronto-based Lateral Office. Impulse will be on display through January 31, 2016. Photos  © Ulysse Lemerise

Channeling the last utopian architectural projects about the City that examined its potential, represented its promises of liberation, and captured its pleasures — from Superstudio’s Continuous Monument to Koolhaas’s Exodus — Public Farm 1 (P.F.1) is an architectural and urban manifesto to engage play and reinvent our cities, and our world, once again. © WORKac
