LIFE LINE

WINTER STATIONS 2023

LIFE LINE, Winter Stations 2023

Woodbine Beach, ON, Canada

LIFE LINE is a winning entry in an international design competition. Winter Stations was launched in 2014 and runs annually to celebrate spending time outside during the winter months.

CONCEPT: Radiance is a collective experience. The act of emitting and receiving positivity has an impact that reaches far beyond its origin point. LIFE LINE is a proposal for an interactive winter station that materialises the transfer of joy through a shared, auditory experience.

The proposal references the built infrastructure of the waterfront, the linear landscape of the beach and the distant horizon line. Participants are invited to place a ball at the top of the tube, and send it rolling through a series of windchimes, creating a captivating soundscape for others to enjoy. Listening stations along the length of the tunnel project the sound outward, and allow for multiple points of engagement. The experience of LIFE LINE is playful from near and far, and interprets radiance as joy that starts with one person and radiates outward to many.

After a successful 6 weeks at Woodbine Beach, LIFE LINE moved to Sunnyside Park for its new life in Spring Stations 2023.
