12 Hours of Power

Denise Ing - Toronto, Canada

Installation, Performance Art

On the night of October 3, Torontonians will flock to Berczy Park and see a darkened, serene fountain with stationary bicycles along its perimeter. Beckoned over by Live Green Toronto volunteers, the Nuit Blanche attendees will mount the bicycles and naturally start pedalling. Right before their eyes, the fountain will light up and an altered water display will rise from the water’s surface.

The fountain that so often forms a backdrop to everyday life in Toronto will become the focus as Torontonians exert their energy to maintain the status quo.

Public interaction, education, exercise and a modest production of energy – 12 Hours of Power will literally and figuratively electrify Berczy Park.

Suitable for all ages
