ART: The "Luminato Box," a temporary experimental gallery that is part of this year's Luminato Festival, features the work of ten artists over ten days. Today's installation, by local artist and former Torontoist editor and contributor Sarah Lazarovic, focuses on the festival theme of contemporary communications. Lazarovic's piece, Older, looks at the speed and archiving of digital messages in today's society. The installation features a collection of humourous and telling tweets from members of the Toronto Twitter community, including Mayor Miller, K'naan, and Final Fantasy. Lazarovic uses various forms of typography, including the unmistakable hand-painted lettering by Wayne Reuben of Honest Ed's, to undigitize the messages. Sam Pollock Square at Brookfield Place (181 Bay Street), 8 a.m.–10 p.m., FREE. (via Torontoist)
