Illumination of the Jacques Cartier Bridge
Since it was first opened in 1930 the Jacques Cartier Bridge has been an emblem of the Greater Montreal area because of its unique history and architecture. The illumination project is provided by Living Connections, in association with the Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated, for the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Canada and the 375th anniversary of Montreal. The lighting of the bridge it will be marked in real time by the seasons, moving from purple during the winter, moving through blue in the spring, yellow and green in the summer, and red during autumn. The light subtly marks the passage of time. The flickering of the lights is also dependent on how many mentions the bridge receives on social media by using the phrase "#illumniationMTL" Every hour on the hour during the night, short animations will translate the mood of the city. Each animation is customized based on traffic, weather and social media data that is collected throughout the day. The dominant theme of the day will translate to a specific color of the bridge. The original concept was created by Moment Factory in association with six other multimedia and lighting studios in Montreal which included Ambiances Design Productions, Atomic3, Eclairange Public/Ombrages, Lucion Media, Realisations, and Udo Design.
