# Human Communication-Focused Interactive Artworks Spaghetti Chorus by Daily Tous Les Jours Returns By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-12-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaghetti-chorus References: [v2com-newswire](https://www.v2com-newswire.com/en/newsroom/categories/art/press-kits/1851-08/spaghetti-chorus-returns-to-the-national-gallery-of-canada) The award-winning, Montreal-based interactive art and design studio Daily tous les jours is reinstalling its large-scale piece — the Spaghetti Chorus — within the main atrium of Canada's National Gallery for a second consecutive winter season. The installation consists of an extensive, [illuminated conduit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suspended-lighting-installation) that connects two microphones. The piece transforms spoken input from visitors into [visual light patterns and melodic sounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-sound-piece) that travel along its length. Spaghetti Chorus was conceived as part of a broader series exploring communication beyond digital screens. The work is designed to foster spontaneous shared experiences among strangers within a public space. This interactivity may be framed to directly address a modern longing for authentic, in-person connection and collective joy in an era often characterized by digital isolation and impersonal public interaction.
