Biolumen

Reconnect with the natural world through an immersive experience where light, sound and texture combine to create a space where art, science and nature merge.

Toronto-based visual artist and scientist Radha Chaddah and architectural firm RAW Design present Biolumen, an immersive experience with changing light, texture, and sound. Biolumen features ten large luminescent structures where art, science, and nature merge. Inspired by deep-sea Radiolaria, “Biolumen” represents resilience and beauty in harsh environments.

The sculptures become luminescent and glow from within and project colorful beams of light through their perforated skeletons, creating a dazzling display on the surrounding environment. Immerse yourself in this light and explore the changing patterns produced by interacting with the sculptures.

The differentially coloured inner and outer layers of the Radiolaria sculptures reveal a different way for you to experience sounds and sights of each of these sculptural creatures.

Accompanying sounds are an original score that emit from within the sculptures. It is an ambient sonic landscape that evolves over time and with interaction.

Biolumen, by Radha Chaddah x RAW Design, is a co-production of Quartier des Spectacles Partnership, the City of Mississauga and Culture Shawinigan, with distribution by QDSinternational.
