The Orpheum

INSTALLATION & UX DESIGN

Unleash your inner maestro! The Orpheum is an outdoor interactive art installation, musical instrument, and light show all in one. Designed for the City of Mississauga, our team at Art & Science created a experience of light and sound to celebrate the magic of the Canadian winter.

Inspired by a pipe organ, The Orpheum’s “pipes” fill with moving lights that change in colour and intensity to match your performance. With surrounding iridescent drapery around The Orpheum, viewers could watch the lights dance.

The Orpheum was set up at Mississauga’s Celebration Square as part of New Year’s Eve and Hometown Hockey celebrations. Connected to the Square’s lighting system, participants were able to affect the entire square with light and colour - all the way to the top of the clock tower!
