Techno Sauna

A large-scale media-based architectural installation that reinvented the Finnish sauna for Ottawa-Gatineau residents and visitors over the course of one night, Techno Sauna showcased videos, soundworks and performances by artists and DJs from Ottawa-Gatineau and Montréal while offering a functioning steam sauna, hot tub and cold pool in the SAW Outdoor Courtyard. Techno Sauna included a special Finnish bar menu and featured non-stop beats until the first morning light.

Presented in collaboration with Nuit Blanche Ottawa+Gatineau, the Downtown Rideau BIA and the Embassy of Finland
