MoonGARDEN, a light and poetic installation on the banks of the East River

MoonGARDEN is a artistic installation created by the Montreal company Lucion Media. It consists of 20 spheres self-inflated from 1m80 to 9m in diameter, similar to giant snow globes, onto which are projected magical animations.

Three spheres are interactive and come to life on contact with light, with the torch of a telephone for example. You can have your own experience by “painting” light beams on the surface!

Others reveal poetic animations evoking the abyss and the marine world. The largest sphere reveals a well-kept secret: looking inside, you will discover an animated scene reminiscent of the magic of snow globes from your childhood.
