Lumi
Lumi
Lumi aims to foster connection through public art. The artwork incorporates nets to envelop over 55 illuminated yoga balls, creating a joyful and interactive communal space. Ultimately, our aspiration is to evoke curiosity and playfulness while highlighting the importance of having connection spaces throughout the city. Lumi was designed and developed by 65 SQM, a women-led collective focused on architecture, design and research. The studio places sustainability at its core, emphasizing the reuse of materials. Through innovative design methodologies and early fabrication process, their goal is to reconstitute parts of traditional construction and cultural research to shape new and innovative spaces. The project was made possible by SEAM Design independent architectural lighting design consultants, technical programming by Illuspace (Thailand) Co.Ltd. and travel support by Canada Council for the Arts.

Unlike typical artwork labelled "do not touch," people are encouraged to sit on the brightly lit yoga balls and move them around to form new shapes. Lumi acts as an "urban intervention" meant to spur gathering and inspire spectators to interact with people they've never met before.

"If you move one piece, it ultimately affects the other piece. So even if you're strangers and one person is sitting and someone wants to move [the balls around], you have to interact with the stranger next to you,"
