Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

The rainy sunset was hitting the Well just right as I zoomed by in the 510. The second pic has a very special bonus: a Parkdalian thumb!

Today. Finally get to see the mall up close. It’s surprising that they allow public access at this point - we tend to be overzealous about safety here. Not that what’s accessible is unsafe, but given that the access is not required at this point, it seems uncharacteristic. Maybe they want to generate buzz from the preview.

It felt a bit cooler and windier inside, maybe due to cross-ventilation. Hope that wouldn’t make it uncomfortable during colder months.

Groundbreaking immersive art exhibit set to hit The Well this summer

Arcadia Earth, an immersive environmental art exhibit and extended reality experience, is set to arrive in Canada for the first time. Following successful showcases in New York, Las Vegas, and Saudi Arabia, Arcadia Earth will become a permanent installation inside The Well, a massive mixed-use development in downtown Toronto’s Entertainment District.

With a space spanning 17,000 square feet, Arcadia Earth will offer a multi-sensory journey exploring pressing environmental challenges such as overfishing, plastic waste, and biodiversity loss. The exhibit presents human-scale art installations and incorporates augmented and virtual reality to provide an intimately personal experience. Each installation not only raises awareness about these challenges but also offers actionable suggestions for individuals to make a positive impact on the future of the planet. The exhibit features collaborations with leading environmental artists, including a dedicated space for a Canadian artist chosen through a Call to Artists submissions process.
