At Nuit Blanche we stopped to see what was going on at the church across the street from the ROM.
There was an art installation there that was a striking metaphor. So striking I forgot to get Pinka to take any pictures of it.....and a Google image search for "nuit blanche art thing" hasn't worked out that well.
On the pulpit there was a tree covered in kites. Each of the kites' strings were entangled with branches and trapped, never to soar again. On the floor, connected to the strings were a number of postcards, each of which had peoples hopes and wishes for the future on them.
We all have wishes for events we want to happen, or things we want to have. But when we throw these wishes into the air like kites they just get tangled in the tree of life. This tangling obscures what life should really be all about.
I'm not sure what that is, I didn't finish reading the displays explanation. I think it has something to do with 1080 Snowboarding for the Nintendo 64. You'll never beat that Gold Snowboard Guy if you just wish about it. You actually have to get out there, on that virtual snowboard and go faster than him and/or do lots of tricks on your virtual snowboard. I suggest using Kensuke Kimachi.
Not wanting to be left out I wrote a wish to be attached to a kite.
"I wish that when I die, instead of being dead forever that there was a way to not be dead. And instead I would live forever.
Oh well....."
And that was about it for Nuit Blanche. Although I also found out I can dance the Charleston better than I can dance any other dance. Which is to say slightly below averagely.
