The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Toronto) and the Hong Kong Tourism Board supported the presentation of an artwork titled "The Eye of Wisdom", created by renowned Hong Kong media artist Ellen Pau at Nuit Blanche Toronto 2025 on October 4 and 5 (Toronto time).

Adapted from its original version displayed at the M+ Façade in Hong Kong in 2022, the artwork uses light as its medium and draws inspiration from the Heart Sutra, a central Buddhist scripture. The adapted version responds to the local historical and architectural context, integrating AI-generated models and light-reactive animation.

The artwork was projected onto the wall of City Hall near Toronto's Chinatown, reflecting the rich cultural history of the Chinese-Canadian community.

The Acting Director of Toronto ETO, Mr Gavin Yeung, said: "Toronto ETO is committed to promoting Hong Kong's status as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchanges. We will continue to facilitate cultural dialogue between Hong Kong and Canada through arts and community engagement."

As one of the highlighted projects of Nuit Blanche, the video projection will remain in view until October 13 to draw interest from local and international visitors.

Nuit Blanche is Toronto's largest contemporary art festival, produced by the City of Toronto in collaboration with the city's arts community."The Eye of Wisdom" was curated by Canadian artist Charlene K Lau.
