Another major public art project which will be installed in Quebec City next spring: les Attracteurs. This project has been in the making for quite some time. 36 bronze sculptures such as the following will be installed throughout the hip St-Roch neigbourhood and its particularity is that it will be interactive. The sculptures will be equipped with sensors so that it will emit light and sound as a person walks by.
The city was worried that the technology would not resist Quebec City's winter so it tested the one you see here during the last 2 winters and the sculpture resisted the weather quite well.
