A new interactive public art installation in the Financial District is injecting vibrant color and sound into New York City’s dreary winter. Created by Montreal-based design studio Ingrid Ingrid, “Domino Effect” features 120 giant dominos scattered across 12 tables in Fosun Plaza, with each domino giving off a unique sound and color. Presented by the Downtown Alliance in partnership with Quartier des Spectacles International, the installation is on view at Fosun Plaza in front of 28 Liberty Street through March 6.
“Domino Effect will be a bright and playful addition to the neighborhood and will provide some inspiration to spend a little more time outdoors during the long winter season,” Jessica Lappin, president of the Downtown Alliance, said.
Each set of dominos features a different instrument profile, including vocals, percussion, marimba, balafon, or flute, and every individual domino has a distinct sound. The installation provides a fun and engaging way for Lower Manhattan workers, residents, and visitors to create music as a team.
“We’re thrilled to present the dazzling installation ‘Domino Effect’ by Ingrid Ingrid in downtown New York. Until early March, enjoy toppling dominoes in cascades of light and sound with friends and family,” Guillaume Aniorté, executive director of QDSi, said.
“We hope this experience will bring joy and beautiful moments of collaboration to everyone visiting Lower Manhattan in the coming weeks.”
