Cool. I love that giant deer in lights on the building too!

Montreal does lighting and public art very well.

“We used a zeotrope concept—like a giant wheel—to encourage interactions between humans, unusual mechanical components and the imaginary world,” said Olivier Girourad, who works as a composer, sound artist and art director at Ekumen. “Zeotropes were the precursor to cinema,” explains Jonathan Villeneuve, the designer behind LOOP. Olivier adds that zoetropes even predate animated films. It would seem that this optical toy was invented in 1834 by two people simultaneously: England’s William George Horner and Austria’s Simon Ritter von Stampfer. Zoetropes create the illusion of movement through persistence of vision.

LOOP is a cross between a music box, a zoetrope and a railway handcar. The retro-futuristic machine, more than two metres in diameter, creates animated fairy-tale loops. The public can interact with the installation by turning the colourful lighted cylinders to set the images into motion. Adding to the effect, a music box chimes from the middle of each cylinder.

“The connection between fairy tales and childhood is made both in the animation triggered by turning on the zoetrope, and in the physical components of the work, particularly the music box that plays the soundtrack,” said Rami Bebawi, an architect at Kanva Architecture and the chair of the Luminothérapie 2016 jury.

Each zoetrope features presents a story that lasts just a few seconds. A frog becomes a prince. A wolf blows down the three little pigs’ house. Terrifying eyes appear in the dark. It’s just enough to awaken the imagination and stir childhood memories.

Art installation or street decoration? In any event, good (imho) that they are moving past the pink balls.

It's the same as the pink balls. Just more colors and more balls...

I posted this in the Misc Recent Projects discussion as well, but because it is part architecture part art, it should probably go here as well:

Here's a cool temporary art installation that was installed by a developer on an old run-down cottage in Downtown Hamilton. The caption in the heart says "I am healing as I prepare to transform into my next expression"...
