About Global Vision at Nuit Blanche Lighting Art Installation
The Global Vision is a monumental eye-shaped light installation that embodies the theme of immigration. The installation allows people to walk through a colorful labyrinth that sheds light on the challenges of immigration. The structure's colors constantly alter which symbolizes the changes that immigrants face in a new environment. When viewed from above, a giant eye is formed by the intersection of two semicircles which represent the East and West hemispheres on Earth.

- Production Technology
- 24 triangular prisms made of a metal profile 2.5 meters high arranged in the shape of an eye. Decorated with reflective and reflective adhesive tape and diffuser polyethylene film.
- Design Challenge
- The eye’s pupil, or central point, symbolizes a place for new life and the changing lights represent the many changes immigrants experience in their new homeland. Each triangular prism in the structure is linked to one another, similar to the connection we share with everyone within our society. These prisms are decorated with transparent vinyl and metallic tape which diffuse and reflect light. The use of these materials reinforces the idea of the intersection of human destinies which, in turn, is reflected in our culture.
- Research
- Global Vision is an artistic light installation which embodies the theme of immigration from Europe and Asia to North America. Immigration changes the way we see the world, culture, and society. Immigrants are changed by their new environment and the people they meet. When you view the installation from above, you will see a giant eye formed by the intersection of two semicircles which represent the East and West hemispheres on Earth.
- Inspiration
- Our team consists of immigrants who moved from Europe to North America. The theme of the festival is very close to us and we decided to show the change of hemispheres by immigrants in the form of the intersection of semicircles and the creation of a large eye in the top view.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2022 in Toronto and finished in September 2022, and was exhibited in North York (Toronto) for one night 1-2 October 2022. https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/festivals-events/nuitblanche/nuit-history/?project_id=a6307aca-c65c-46c3-8fba-79945b845339
- Operation Flow
- The installation is a labyrinth of triangular prisms. People had the opportunity to walk among the changing light pillars and find themselves in another organized space, just like an immigrant gets into a new life and environment.
