THIS WAS AMAZING.
Knowing me, all my friends thought this Foresta Lumina thing was going to be some kitchy light installation in a forest, despite my vimeo references and photos (which I'm sure none of them looked at). The entire premise of this roadtrip to Coaticook was for this exhibition: a 2km night hike in a forest illuminated by interactive light installations created by none other than the brilliant minds at Moment Factory. Photos don't do this justice because it was a fully immersive experience, and I don't think I've experienced anything as cool and seamless and well done as this in an outdoor setting. (I'm gushing now, I know)

How can you say no to a cute cabin like this?

I hustled my friends to come with me to Coaticook to check out Moment Factory's Foresta Lumina at Parc de la Gorge for a weekend. I managed to miscalculate (and convince everyone) the length of the drive by 4 hours, but didn't realise this until 5 hours later when we made it to Ottawa. Nonetheless, we re-energized with some old friends and midnight pho in Ottawa, and carried onwards, arriving at our cabin in the middle of the darkness night.
