Water Orchestra is an interactive aquatic and sound installation that lets visitors try their hand at being a conductor, moving their arms to direct a unique symphony for the eyes and ears.
From a podium, just like a conductor in front of musicians, visitors can direct, by moving their arms, an orchestra made up of water fountain jets, each of which produces its own unique musical sequence. Water Orchestra transforms the public space and becomes an interactive instrument of self-expression for visitors. Water Orchestra creates a place for people to come together and connect where everyone is invited to play and create a symphony that visitors can both hear and see.

OTTOMATA & Atomic 3
Ottomata is a technological collective working in the field of interactive art and media. Its members are actively evolving both artistically and professionally within different spheres of the creative landscape. They frequently collaborate with other multimedia creation studios such as Moment Factory, Float4, and Champagne Club Sandwich, while also conducting in-house research-creation projects.
These explorations often lead to the creation of unique site-specific works as well as original cross-disciplinary hybrids. Their creations are driven by a desire to develop not only new forms of interaction, but above all meaningful and lasting relationships with their audience.
With over ten years of experience in the performing arts, director Félix Dagenais and lighting designer Louis-Xavier Gagnon-Lebrun founded ATOMIC3 in order to pursue their artistic practice beyond the walls of theatre, by inventing new ways of telling stories and sparking the imagination.
Together, they design and create urban installations that transform spaces and illuminate everyday life. Whether interactive or contemplative, their works invite citizens to look at their environment with fresh eyes. Their rich background in the performing arts informs each of their creations, which are infused with unique narrative and poetic dimensions.
