										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Redpath Waterfront Festival (June 22-24)  has announced what will be this year&#8217;s main attraction. We can all remember the Giant Rubber Duck that landed at our waterfront last summer that caused quite a sensation. Love it or not, it brought much needed tourism dollars and traffic back into the area that was recovering from flooding. So, what&#8217;s coming this year? We&#8217;ve learned that there will be a Giant Beach Ball Kinetic Installation titled the <strong>HTO Pendulum Wave,</strong> along side a whimsical H20-themed circus show.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-37341 size-full" src="https://torontoguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HTO-Pendulum-Wave-Teaser.jpg" alt="beach ball" width="678" height="458" srcset="https://torontoguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HTO-Pendulum-Wave-Teaser.jpg 678w, https://torontoguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HTO-Pendulum-Wave-Teaser-300x203.jpg 300w, https://torontoguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HTO-Pendulum-Wave-Teaser-564x381.jpg 564w" sizes="(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px" /></p>
<p>The installation is based on physical laws of science&#8217;s popular instrument the pendulum will suspend the beach balls from a truss frame that is 22 ft long and weights 19,000 lbs in total.</p>
<p>We had a chance to ask Kyle Hosick of Decor &amp; More, about what we should be expecting. We&#8217;re pretty sure the city&#8217;s budding photographers and talented instagrammers will find ways to creatively show us their perspectives.</p>
<p><strong>What was the inspiration to create such a fun outdoor installation?</strong></p>
<p>We knew we had to go big and we wanted to embody a “fun in the sun” attitude with this installation. The beach balls not only allowed us to bring a bit of the sand and surf into the equation, but also became a great way to inject colour on a grand scale.</p>
<p><strong>What challenges are you faced with in creating this and what are some ways you&#8217;re working around them?</strong></p>
<p>The pendulum wave is based on a specific mathematical equation. The distance between the balls and the distance between the truss and each ball plays a specific role in how the wave functions. We had to do extensive testing to nail the look of the wave.</p>
<p><strong>How many beach balls will be incorporated in the installation?</strong></p>
<p>6 balls are being utilized.</p>
<p><strong>What are the beach balls made of? </strong></p>
<p>Each beach ball is made of heavy duty vinyl. The balls are made up of individual colour panels that were sewn together.</p>
<p><strong>What would you want the general public to know about the installation?</strong></p>
<p>The installation is going to be truly unique and it’s grand scale will be a marvel for people of all-ages. By bringing a bit of science to the beach we intrigue imaginations and have fun while we do it!</p>
