Brown &amp; Wayne Garrett<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The piece uses pull chain switches and everyday light bulbs, re-imagining their potential to provoke collaborative moments between strangers. During exhibition, viewers interact with\u00a0<em>CLOUD<\/em>\u00a0by initiating impromptu collaborations, working as a collective to animate \u201clightning\u201d on the surface of the sculpture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple, bright, and playful,\u00a0<em>CLOUD<\/em>\u00a0is a barometer of social interaction, collaboration, and collective action, reflecting a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. As viewers engage with pull chains, they become unwitting performers and puppeteers, orchestrating an uncertain spectacle for viewers outside the work. Characterized by upturned faces and glittering eyes, viewers engage with the work long after all its secrets have been revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The material of <em>CLOUD<\/em> speaks to a broader conversation about domestic waste and the mass of insignificant objects in urban spaces. As incandescent bulbs are phased out in the European Union and other countries around the world, the sculpture gains new meaning as a beacon of transitional technologies and changing futures \u2013 where are we going next? On a symbolic level, <em>CLOUD<\/em> relies on the universal language of environmental imagery \u2013 despite language barriers, cultural differences, and geographic distance, rain clouds are understood by people all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CloudPhoto1_Doug_Wong-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CloudPhoto1_Doug_Wong-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CloudPhoto1_Doug_Wong-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CloudPhoto1_Doug_Wong-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CloudPhoto1_Doug_Wong-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CloudPhoto1_Doug_Wong-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>CLOUD<\/em> at Nuit Blanche Calgary \u00a9 Doug Wong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Share this event on social networks<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"socialLinks socialShare\"><ul><li><script>function fbs_click() {u=location.href;t=document.title;window.open('http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/cloud\/&t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436'); return false; }<\/script><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=<;url>\" onclick=\"return fbs_click()\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"facebookLink\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" ><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin-in\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=CLOUD&amp;url=https:\/\/chroniques-biennale.org\/en\/cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"twitterLink\"><i class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artists<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"artisteBlock  \"><div class=\"artisteBlockLeft\"><\/div><div class=\"artisteBlockRight\"><h2>Caitlind r.c.
