Osheaga Music Festival 2012 [CONCERTS]

Osheaga is a unique and eclectic music and arts festival staged in the breath-taking environs of Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Sainte-Hélène, an island of tranquility set in the middle of the bustle of one of North America’s most exciting cities. The festival was inaugurated in 2006 with the intention of offering a world-class European-style festival to Canadians and to showcase Montreal’s acclaimed local talent alongside some of the industry’s biggest names. The artist line-up was designed to present a mix of today’s most avant-garde emerging artists juxtaposed against those internationally known artists who appeal to the most discerning music lover.


This year the festival includes acts like Feist, Snoop Dogg, A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd, The Black Keys, Aloe Blacc, Santigold, City & Colour, and another dozen bands worth mentioning, but If you’re not sold already, what’s the point?

The festival founders also sought to provide fans with an unparalleled experience by offering them the best music, the best food and concessions, and an eco-conscious approach.

Moment Factory - Permanent Interactive LED wall [COOL]

Montreal next weekend?

Moment Factory developed the interactive system and designed the interactive content. PHOTONIC Dreams created the original LED video wall of La Vitrine, in Montreal.

The installation includes tracking devices and low-resolution LED displays and is capable of showing many different visualizations based on the presence and movement of people.

After entertaining themselves with the dynamic marquee of La Vitrine during the last two editions of the All-Nighter, Montreal residents, visitors and tourists will now be able to enjoy it every night! This interactive screen, which currently lights up La Vitrine Culturelle, is now equipped with a high-tech system, enabling passers-by to interact with light shapes generated by 35,000 LED light bulbs.

The fun and interactive nature of this installation is a new innovation of the Quartier des spectacles Lighting Plan, as it redefines the traditional architectural façade so as to enable passers-by to make it their own by interacting with the light shapes displayed. Thanks to the talent of the creators of Moment Factory, which was incidentally awarded the Grand Prix Créativité Montréal 2008 in the category Urban integration Urban planning for this installation, we are taking a new step toward the creation of a unique urban experience at the heart of Montreal!, says Charles Lapointe, the president of the Partnership.

Visitors can interact with the installation every night from 7 PM to 11 PM.
