Elektrik Bugs by Stephanie Castonguay

This year's edition of the Sound Travels Festival of Sound Art opens on June 21st with Elektrik Bugs, a sound and light installation by Stephanie Castonguay.

Elektrik Bugs is created from an electronic workshop with children at the South River Public School where they experiment with the concept of how sound waves are transformed into electric signals, allowing this energy to travel through light and be converted back into sound by the means of an amplified solar panel.

Visitors to the exhibition will activate and play the sculpture using flashlights and other portable light emitting devices. This exhibition opens June 21st at 7pm with an artist talk and performance and continues until July 22nd. NAISA North Media Arts Centre and Café is open from 10 am to 4 pm everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday.
