Ride The Rocket

Who: Kurt Firla and Elliott Mealia, Canada Po-Mo Inc.

Where: 600 Bay (north of Dundas West)

Why: Public transit has always been sold to the public with an Epcot Center-styled “wave of the future” boosterism (especially if the city is trying to sell you on a monorail). Ride The Rocket celebrates and subverts this silly jingoism, turning a Toronto streetcar into just such a theme-park thrill ride. Through multimedia, light and sound, passengers find themselves transported not just through the city, but through space and time, driven and narrated by their own personal Rocket tour guide.
