Go to Sign Waves - Phase One

Sign Waves - Phase Two is an exhibition of multi-media and sound installations exploring resonance and the visual and sonic elements of the underground reservoirs, the Chemistry Building & Toronto Island. Prepare to interact with your surroundings in an aural journey of exploration as you take in the four installations Reservoir by Darren Copeland, Distributed Resonance by Bentley Jarvis, Inside the Eye of Silence by Vivienne Spiteri & Rob Godman and Watercolor by Michael Davey and Delwyn Higgins (Admission PWYC). Copies of the Sign Waves Companion booklet will be available at the exhibition

Reservoir by Darren Copeland is an interactive sound installation that asks the visitors to participate in the piece by providing their own sounds and explores the resonant qualities of the underground reservoirs at the Water Filtration Plant. Distributed Resonance by Bentley Jarvis is the newest in an ongoing series of sound sculptures exploring tuned resonance. Inside the Eye of Silence by Vivienne Spiteri & Rob Godman is a sound installation that transforms the sound of the harpsichord as it passes through 8 rooms in the Chemistry Building. Watercolor by Michael Davey and Delwyn Higgins is a site-specific artwork that includes a football-sized field of painted manhole covers viewable from the Chemistry Building.
