Echoes of Light

Light is only one way we perceive the world. A bat’s echolocation, for example, translates motion into sound, sound into time, and time into perception. It becomes a harmony of movement, vibration, and rhythm.

But what about us, humans? How can we see these waves? Echoes of Light is an interactive experience where visitors can transform sound into pulsing, shifting light, using their own voices — light rippling across the figure of a bat in rhythmic patterns, like echoes in the dark.  Visitors approach the mic and use their voice to activate LEDs on the bat sculpture, lighting up a pattern on the bat. The colour, timing, and intensity of the lighting shifts in response to the sound of the voice, visualizing how bats use echolocation.

Jordan St. Claire

Jordan St. Claire is a multimedia artist, curator and creative director, based in Toronto, Ontario. A lover of surrealism and fantasy, her craft often focuses on making the unreal, real. Originally from Nova Scotia, Jordan moved to Toronto to study Design at York University in 2007. In 2017 she discovered metal working, since then it has become her primary material for her art. She has gone on to showcase pieces in Toronto, New York, Detroit, California, Las Vegas and Burning Man Nevada. Jordan is interested in blurring the line of what we consider reality and creating a sense of magic and whimsy in the viewer. Recently, her heart has been in bringing attention to our relationship with nature, and animals that are endangered, in hopes they will not join the fantasy creatures of her past work .
