Hi Pressure, Drake facade
Drake's facade is transformed into an epic video game as you and your trusted friend or mortal enemy play against each other to navigate a surreal environment.
Renowned Swiss artist Olaf Breuning's playful light-based sculptures were constructed from things you might find in the local dollar store, giving thought to what you could make with a little retail inspiration.
TYCHO - Underground
San Francisco-based Scott Hansen pools his skills as a designer with alter-ego electronic identity TYCHO, bombarding senses with a fully synched audio-visual performance.
With down-tempo Toronto producer Jason Alan in as Aton Tep (We Are Busy Bodies) + Montreal's Peer Pressure with a visual late-night dance party.
Kurt Bigenho - Experiential Modifiers, Lobby
NYC-based artist Kurt Bigenho sets up a lending library of usable art that allows participants to 'modify' their experience of the night. Borrow something for a few hours and see where it takes you.
Nathalie Quagliotto - Maturity Spin, Café patio
An interactive sculpture of conjoined merry-go-rounds invites revelers to examine the space between conceptual art and playground fun. The entrance to the patio will be flanked by two 7 ft. tall, chandelier-mounted bicycles made by Mark Charlebois.
Everything is Terrible! - Exclusive Nuit Blanche Mix!, Drake TV
Screens throughout the building will be equally captivating and terrifying as New York/LA/Chicago-based video collective Everything is Terrible! presents their hilariously surreal video mash-ups.
