Reportage : Portrait maraîcher de Montréal - 17 mars 2012 La région métropolitaine de MTL comptait un million et demi d'habitants en 1950. Aujourd'hui, c'est presque quatre millions. Quand on regarde de plus près : il y a des jardins. Un peu partout, des légumes colorent le décor urbain.L'agriculture refuse d'être déracinée de la ville. Montréal a lancé une nouvelle mouvance d'agriculture urbaine en 1974 avec ses programmes de développement des jardins communautaires. Ce mode de fonctionnement demeure aujourd'hui le modèle prédominant de la métropole québécoise, mais aussi dans beaucoup de villes industrialisées comme à New York.

Among the interactive components of PF1 are swings, cubby hole seats, a periscope, and columns that provide different tactile and acoustic experiences– like being fuzzy or sounding like nighttime. It’s farm as playground. Farm as chill space. Farm as music concert companion. Farm as Fun. It’s a concept as vital to sustainability as the term “organic.” Plus that wading pool looks really nice for a hot day.
The Echo Temple allowed users to play virtual musical instruments by moving their body in front of motion-tracking cameras. The unique musical experience conducted by the audience, was concepted by Mother New York, and was the centerpiece of Kyocera’s activation at Virgin Mobile’s Free Fest, a full-day music festival featuring Cee Lo, Patti Smith, etc. attended by 50,000+ people. The Echo Temple included six monolithic speaker towers with motion tracking cameras encircling a central tower including subwoofers. Participants standing in front of the monoliths were able to manipulate a different melodic instrument’s volume, pitch or unique audio effect by moving their body and waving fans branded with special symbols. The central tower produced the core of the mix: drums, bass, drones and the main harmonic progressions, and had architectural bamboo that could be tapped to trigger percussive sounds within the mix. The installation’s technology combined Ableton Live, Cycling74 Max and ReacTIVision. Cameras in each tower were fed into embedded systems running a custom build of ReacTIVision which tracked both symbols as well as body movement and camera activity. This was all sent to MaxMSP, which in turn was used to transform the raw input into meaningful musical control information for Live.
