"Long Wave" by David Rokeby
Commissioned by the Luminato Festival, Toronto
This protracted, spiraling molecule chain was meant to emulate the radio transmission wave and was made from 63 large red spheres that hung from the arches of the Allen Lambert Galleria in Brookfield Place, Toronto.
"In our contemporary wireless environment, populated by tiny centimeter long wifi transmissions, these radio waves are really the dinosaurs of our communications era. Appropriately, 'long wave' also resembles the suspended backbone of an oversized brontosaurus."
