Floralume

Floralume transforms an emergency staircase  into an interactive sculpture that consists of reclaimed street lamps that produce soft light and sound when touched.

"Vine shapes twist and turn upwards along the stairwell beams, fanning out under landings, traversing across the open space between the cross beams in collections, and clustering in out-of-reach areas. Here and there leaves extend and flowers bloom, made from reclaimed streetlamps, their jewel-like lenses glowing softly, changing colour." Monkey C Interactive

About the artists:

Monkey C Interactive is the interactive work of artists David Parfit and Scott Amos. Whether it’s a strange and whimsical musical instrument like the Bubble Organ, a giant motion-responsive LED cube sculpture, a tech-house-looping mutant cash register, or a 5-story-tall musical stairwell, Monkey C Interactive’s public art installations and interactive sculptures have amused and delighted countless people in their hometown of Victoria, BC, and at numerous festivals and events.
