Deets: Winter Glow. This winter, celebrate the elements of light, art, and storytelling in Flatiron & NoMad with free public pop-up programming and explore the interactive installations The Diamonds by Perséides Studio and Spectrum by Mirari from QDSinternational.

The Diamonds
The Diamonds dazzle as they reflect sunlight, and shine brightly when they light up at night. From a distance, Alexis Laurence and Francis Laporte’s elegant interactive artwork, The Diamonds, draws your eye, inviting you to get closer and make the structures turn. Their movement produces a melody along with a kaleidoscopic array of glittering lines and points. Each Diamond has its own distinctive colour and tune. When you get together with other people to make each installation spin, the artwork produces a harmonious waltz in music and light, a thrill for your eyes and ears.

Spectrum
This interactive installation sheds light on the phenomenon of communication, by displaying the path taken by the waves generated by voices and other sounds. Here, the fundamental means of interpersonal communication, speech, is disconnected from language. Instead, it becomes a cascade of waves and luminous pulses, illustrating the fascinating trajectories of sound. Watch as your message moves from one end of the circles to the other. You will see how small gestures – invisible reverberations – can have a big impact.

Tulips by Hou de Sousa & String Lighting by Hou de Sousa
Designed and installed by award-winning architecture firm Hou de Sousa, the Flatiron Public Plazas feature new lighting that enlivens our public spaces. On the South Plaza, next to the Flatiron Building, view the festive lighting installation, Tulips and on the North Plaza enjoy overhead string lighting.

Winter Glow will also celebrate our local businesses with exclusive deals from local Flatiron & NoMad retailers.
