"You don't expect a tree to talk to you." We See You is among the more than 85 works on display by local, Canadian and international artists."
"Nuit Blanche begins Oct. 4 at 7 p.m.until sunrise at 7 a.m on Oct. 5. For those 12 hours, the TTC will be running all three subway lines and the regularly scheduled blue night buses. Additional buses will be added from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m. on Sunday for the 944 Kipling South Express. The TTC will not be running for free, according to an email from TTC spokesperson Stuart Green unlike previous Nuit Blanche events."
Nuit Blanche returns for its 19th edition under the theme Translating the City, focusing on Toronto's multilingualism and urban complexity. The overnight program features more than 85 works by local, Canadian and international artists across city streets and parks. Eunice Wong's multimedia installation We See You reimagines park furniture and trees as talking, thinking characters using motion sensors and submitted voice recordings in multiple languages. The project uses prompts imagining what benches, lampposts and garbage cans would say or feel and incorporates dozens of community-recorded voices. The event runs Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. until Oct. 5 at 7 a.m.; transit service and fares will apply.
