Brookfield Place, Allen Lambert Galleria

VOTA: Meniscus is a kinetic machine that is brought into contact with a lush green oasis through the sounds made by viewers. Each string responds to a different set of notes in the register of the human voice. Sing or speak loudly into the sculpture and the strings respond, spinning and sweeping out transparent helixes in choreography with the music. They pull the brass rods out of the pond, causing them to hover over the foliage.

The entire installation is composed of recycled materials that will find a second life following the exhibition at Brookfield Place.

About the Artists: Brad Hindson is a Toronto-based architect who has contributed to numerous recognizable buildings and public installations here and abroad. Mitchell F Chan is an interactive media artist who has exhibited in galleries across Canada and the US. Studio F-Minus, Hindson and Chan's collaborative venture, was founded in 2008 and quickly earned numerous plaudits in the national media as it churned out a series of highly inventive and original interactive projects, including an installation at the 2009 Luminato Festival of Arts & Creativity. Their most recent work, A Dream of Pastures will soon be exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.
