"Tweeta-Gate" by Eleni Papadimitriou and Stefanos Ziras

The four competition winners — plus a student project — include a cluster of buoys, a bundle of cables, "sculptural columns of starlight," yellow gates mounted with bells, and a kaleidoscopic shelter. Two of the winners hail from Toronto, while one is from Hamburg, Germany, and another is from Athens, Greece; the fifth is a student installation contributed by Ryerson University. All of the winners have about six weeks to turn their digital images into real-life installations that can stand up to the frigid temperatures and art lovers interacting with them.

The third annual Ice Breakers exhibition is presented by PortsToronto in collaboration with Winter Stations and the Waterfront Business Improvement Area. Visit the Waterfront BIA website for more information on the exhibition and the winning designs.
