Scanner at the McLaughlin Planetarium. May 20, 1995.
This was a collaboration with Toronto's legendary Transcendance production house. I was responsible for the multi-media installation at the Planetarium, while Transcendance focussed on the reception afterwards. Scanner utilizes technology that scans the radio airwaves, reassembling everything from cel phone conversations to static and noise into a provocative statement regarding (post)modern notions of privacy. The visual elements I organized drew from five decades of experimental film and media, and were mixed at random through five video channels which were simultaneously projected and scrambled on the planetarium ceiling. Attendance for two shows and the reception: 1350.

Freemaison. Sombrio Beach, Vancouver Island, BC.
August 19, 1999.
This event was held in the middle of an old-forest grove that led out onto one of B.C.'s most majestic beachfronts. The audio artists curated for the event were selected based on the appropriateness to the venue of their music's acoustical resonance. This was a camping event, and the music began before dawn with dark tonal electroacoustic and ambient music, building into a more aethereal aesthetic and deeper harmonic palette as the sun rose. Once risen, the music crescended into lush electronic and deep-house genres which suited to the day fully realized. Lighting at night was kept minimal, and projected stage lighting on the natural environment. As a multi-media experiment within a highly sensitive ecological environment, this event was an immense success in terms of artistic goals being realized with no environmental damage whatsoever on the site. Attendance: 70
