The implementation of a video mapping system allows the continuous dissemination of a work of art designed especially for the place through a perennial gesture. The luminous and moving projection brightens up the center of the current Place Simon-Valois. Colorful and in light, the mapping work unfolds as well on the snow as on the pavement. The work evokes the life of a flower from the hatching of its birth to the spread of its seeds and its disappearance. A complete life cycle presented in multiple random sequences. It is a dialogue with both the pixelated pattern of the existing pavement, the poetic border and the new colorful patterns. This digital work in situ becomes a distinctive landmark and a force of development in all seasons.

The new Simon-Valois meeting area reflects the identity of the neighbourhood. It is a colorful, bright, distinct and inclusive space. A safe place, a backdrop that makes room for events and citizen and municipal initiatives.

Because Place Valois is for all Simon and Simone. All the neighbors, the nomadic souls who come back here repeatedly, the benevolent little brothers and sisters, the aunts, the mothers and grandmothers. Because that place is us. And that we are vibrant. Because Place Valois is as much rooted in the past history of trains still running in memory, as in the movement of pixel-souls, who gather and disperse every day according to the wind, like egrets that swarm the neighborhood with their ideas, their sensibilities and the dotted lines of their steps.
