今年夏天，蒙特皇家大道被改造成了一个2.5公里的步行区。 此外，在马卡丹百花广场的路人如今抬头就能看到partielment
nuageux avec de fortes probabilités de«wow»! (局部多云，概率有《wow》！)，一个悬挂在地面上30英尺(9米)的装置。 该装置被设计为一朵巨大的蓬松的云，装置创造了阴影区，并随着太阳的运动缓慢移动。
Mont-Royal Avenue has been transformed into a 2.5 km pedestrian-only zone this
summer. Additionally, passersby at Place des Fleurs-de-Macadam will now be able
to look up at Partiellement nuageux avec de fortes probabilités de « wow
»! (Partly cloudy with a strong chance of “wow”!), an installation
suspended 30 feet (nine metres) above the ground. The piece is designed to
resemble a giant fluffy cloud that creates shaded zones that slowly move with
the motion of the sun.
装置的设计概念是对自然和城市生活、有机生活、技术、气象科学和老妇人的故事的二分法的致敬。 它也象征着水的两种状态——即液体和气体，这也是对马卡丹百花多功能水广场的完美补充。 总而言之，装置旨在展示雨在公共空间中的重要性。
The
concept is a nod to the dichotomy of nature and city living, organic life and
technology, meteorological science and old wives’ tales. It also symbolizes
water and two of its states – liquid and gas – and is the perfect complement to
the multipurpose water square at Place des Fleurs-de-Macadam. In sum, its
intent is to celebrate and show how important rain is in the public space.
装置提供了一种实时变化的独特体验，实时演变。 在夜晚，它会根据12小时的天气预报变化，并对热浪、风暴、降雨、阳光等做出反应。 这件作品是一首气象之诗，根据预期的天气，在彩虹色调色板中闪烁。 创作者从气象学和老妇人的故事中获得灵感，这些故事深受与如务农者们的欢迎。 例如，人们相信观察日落时的天空和云的颜色可以预测明天的天气。
The
artwork provides a unique experience that evolves in real-time. At night, it
emits a glow that changes according to 12-hour weather forecasts, while
reacting to heat waves, storms, rain, sunshine, etc. The piece is a genuine
embodiment of atmospheric poetry, shimmering in an iridescent palette of colours
depending on the weather expected. The creators drew inspiration from both
meteorology and old wives’ tales that were popular with people who have a deep
connection to the land, such as farmers. For instance, the belief that
observing the sky at sunset and the colour of the clouds could predict
tomorrow’s forecast.
