Nuit Blanches Zone C honours the all-night factor by focusing on everything revealed to us in dreams or altered states. This is obviously the stoner zone.

SECRET OF THE SYNCOPE II by Walter Willems, at CAMH, 1001 Queen WestThe Dutch creator of the drum kit made of cheese brings us the road made of carpeting. The springy faux asphalt is designed to take you by surprise. Should be more fun than that grass road on the car commercial. It's rumoured that you'll be able to take a piece of carpeting home at the end of the night.

INCURSION 43:38:36.19N/ 79:25:19.89W° by Craig Walsh, at the Great Hall storefront window, 1087 Queen WestIn another Canadian premiere, Walsh, who's installed site-specific public video in Japan, England and his native Australia, flips scale and space on Queen West to eerie effect. A storefront window becomes a prehistoric aquarium, mirroring the silent, ancient, otherworldly lake that defines the edge of our city and landlubber awareness.

LOCUST by Noboru Tsubaki and Hishashi Muroi, at Lamport Stadium, 1151 King WestAt a mind-boggling 34 metres long, this giant insect has the sleek, hyper-real presence of something added to the landscape by a team of animators. It can't possibly be there, and yet there it is. It also carries a sinister whiff of man-made ecological disaster. Like his giant teddy bear fed on a steady diet of depleted uranium, Locust is a friendly corporate mascot that has somehow mutated into something ominous. Cower beneath it in fear and awe.

CITY GLOW by Chiho Aoshima, in Massey Harris Park, 945 King WestThis whimsical, world-renowned, anime-inspired film of anthropomorphized urban life makes its Canadian premiere at Nuit Blanche. A 7-minute narrative moves fantastically from city centre to city edge to enchanted forest. The potential upshot: training eyes to see our own prosaic city a little more magically, too.
