Happy Tuesday ☀️😍🌊💙

Have you checked the Throbber at The RC Harris Water Treatment Plant 😍🌊

The reasons why people seek refuge are as diverse as people themselves. They wait. The walk-in installation consists of 10 small trapezoidal rooms ‘shelters’, lined up next to each other, each in monochrome.

In combination, they form the colour spectrum of a rainbow. Inside, the colours are reduced to grey. From an aerial view, it forms the shape of a “throbber”, an icon used computer programs (waiting, buffering).

This icon is adopted from digital to real world as a symbol for the active experience of time, a transition where different perspectives, longings, hopes and motivations come together. The installation is an invitation to perceive similarities and connections with others, despite individual differences.

These installations wouldn’t be possible without the generous contribution from The Richards Group - Re/Max Hallmark and the tremendous cooperation and collaboration of Councillor Brad Bradford and the City of Toronto Parks and Water departments.
