Daily Chorus

Daily Chorus project immerses viewers in the interconnectedness of built and natural environments, human and non-human systems—geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and noosphere.[1][2] This interactive installation blends physical and virtual elements to represent these interactions. At rest, the space generates an ambient world of sounds, lights, and digital projections. Streaming data on Toronto’s atmospheric conditions shapes these elements based on time of day and environmental states, juxtaposed with AI sentiment analysis of tweets about Toronto.[3] Light colours correspond to the sentiment spectrum (positive, neutral, and negative), displayed through projections and illuminated gates. Viewers interact with the gates by walking through them, triggering light and sound responses, transforming them from observers to participants.[4] The project aims to evoke a sense of connection to the urban meta-organism we all inhabit, inviting participants to consider their own belonging and agency within city’s systems.
