Apprivoiser la foudre<\/em> is a site-specific installation that suggests an ephemeral merging of architecture, history and natural phenomena. The glass structure of Nova Scotia Power\u2019s new Corporate Office is used to \u201ccontain an electrical storm.\u201d The architecture of this historical building and its past and future purposes conveys its strong connection with the natural world. While an electrical storm usually requires that one look for shelter due to the potential danger of such a natural phenomenon, the installation presents the storm in a way that underplays the element of danger, and instead invites contemplation of \u2014 and awe at \u2014 this powerful natural phenomenon. <\/p>\n\n

Apprivoiser la foudre<\/em> was an ephemeral site-specific installation in Nova Scotia Power\u2019s new Corporate Office under construction on Lower Water Street in Halifax. Fog machines and different types of lights were placed on different floors of the glass structure of the building, and triggered at different intervals to suggest a \u201ccontained electrical storm\u201d. This installation was conceptualised in collaboration with Douglas Bamford and was part of Nocturne \u2013 Art at Night on October 16th 2010. <\/p>\n\n
