Toronto 
Family Day weekend is around the corner and if you are looking for a fun free activity while visiting downtown Toronto, check out the Island of Warmth exhibit.
Island of Warmth is a large “fire” made of more than 150 incandescent light bulbs by Félix Dagenais and Louis-Xavier Gagnon-Lebrun of Creos and ATOMIC3.
The electrifying campfire is an interactive light installation and it comes to life with music that is composed specially for the occasion when visitors generate the fire’s sounds and movements.
According to the press release, “sensors within the Island of Warmth allow attendees to determine the movements of the flames, and the music created by the sounds of the fire. As they dance, jump or wave, the visitors kindle the “embers”, fan the “flames”, and send “sparks” flying.”
The exhibit debuting at Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square on Feb 18th will run until the end of March Break.
