Our Floating Artworks podcast series concludes with a tour of the TD Centre installations, led by assistant curator Rob Vanderberg.
Here, Vanderberg describes hanging works by Abraham Cruzvillegas and Dan Steinhilber, as well as an interactive light sculpture by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.
More Floating Artworks have appeared this weekend, so be sure to check them out. William Forsythe’s Scattered Crowd, featuring a floating landscape full of balloons, will also be in the TD Centre. And be sure to look for Jenny Holzer’s building projections all over town — including at the Drake Hotel, the MaRS Discovery District and the Parliament Street Silos (where you can catch L’Art Boat and see L’Art Village.).

Go ahead, indulge your inner moth: Walk toward the light.
The light — those flashing, swooping searchlights you see at the southern end of downtown Toronto — is Pulse Front, the world’s largest interactive light sculpture. When you get there, you might be surprised. This weekend, Harbourfront Centre (the place Pulse Front calls home) will also host Carnivalissima, a celebration of the many separate and distinct world cultures that have made second homes in Toronto.
Today’s Luminato Podcast documents the reactions of people to seeing their biorhythms projected onto the night sky.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think Goro Koyama was, um… relieving himself in the middle of the Elgin Theater. That’s sure what it sounds like. Gross.
But of course, loyal Luminatites do know better, and may have deduced that Koyama is a perfectly polite foley artist — a guy whose job is to make artificial sounds to use in movies. One of his specialties begins with a “p.” It also sounds like the letter “p.” This is a family website, so we won’t go any further.
Listen to our newest podcast about the brains behind the onomatopoeia at Guy Madden’s film “Brand Upon The Brain,” and you can hear Koyama and his colleagues, Caoimhe Doyle and Andy Malcolm, making the sounds that make us listen with awe. And occasionally wince.

A lot of people are looking up these days when they enter Union Station. Looking up at the horses. Yeah, that’s what we said: Horses.
In this podcast with Rob Vanderberg, assistant curator for Floating Artworks, we discuss what it’s like to enter a train station to see four huge inflatable horses hanging from the celing. It’s the first in an occasional series of podcasts about the Floating Artworks exhibit, found in various spots in downtown Toronto.
