Per TheStar.com, the exhibit, entitled Later That Night at the Drive-In, was created in honor of Nuit Blanche Toronto, which is the city’s “all-night contemporary art thing.” The exhibit, which rested outside the Toronto City Hall in Nathan Phillips Square, was made up of 24 speakers and 12 film screens and was described by Lanois as “an enchanted forest of sound.” Featuring concert footage, Lanois added the set-up was meant to recreate the concert experience, except here “no one gets a bad seat.” Four new songs from the album debuted at the exhibit, which started the evening of October 2nd and ended at sunrise the next morning, at the stroke of midnight. As much as we’d love to describe this magical experience, you should probably just watch it below for yourself.
