Nuit Blanche at MaRS

MaRS Discovery District(@MaRSDD) helps Canadian startups succeed so they can solve our toughest problems in such areas as climate, health and the economy. As North America’s largest urban innovation hub and a registered charity, MaRS provides direct support to more than 1,200 ventures, builds communities of innovators within its 1.5-million square feet of lab and office space, and spurs the adoption of new solutions — in Canada and around the world.

MaRS Discovery District

See incredible 3D projections and super-sized sculptures, as well as special contributions from Margaret Atwood and Daniel Lanois.

This Nuit Blanche, MaRS opens its doors to show how entrepreneurs are transforming the world for the better, using innovation to combat today’s mounting threats to our environment.Featuring an immersive, multimedia experience set in the soaring, cathedral-like MaRS atrium, Transformation includes 3D projections, super-sized sculptures, interactive light displays and informative videos. It also includes special contributions by Canadian icons Margaret Atwood and Daniel Lanois, who composed a new soundscape for the event. Visitors will wade through a projection-mapped, plastic-clogged river, dodging massive, inflatable sculptures, prompting them to re-examine their own behaviours around single-use-plastics. They’ll gaze up at an enormous, glowing orange orb—a reminder of the catastrophic effects of earth’s rising temperatures—before arranging their own beautifully-lit pathway as they walk through a series of touch-sensitive, LED Nanoleaf light panels.
