Description

Watertable is the first multimedia work by internationally respected Toronto art duo Lisa Steele and Kim Tomczak, who envisioned and created this multimedia sculpture to conceptually and physically interact with the Gardiner Expressway, Fort York and the lakeshore. Consisting of long sculptural strings of LED lights with speakers and audio and lighting controls, WATERTABLE looks like undulating waves appearing to float under the Gardiner Expressway. The softly glowing lights begin their crest from the southern edge and move towards the north side, directing the public's gaze towards Fort York. The sound of recorded waves subtly echo throughout the area, triggering the public to remember that this location was once the water's edge.
