| DARSHA HEWIIT
...is a Canadian artist from Ottawa. She makes sound performances and
installations using experimental electronics, Open- Source programming
software/hardware, ageing technology and public vicinities. Her
artwork looks at the role of automation in everyday life and how
technology-reliant society silences and reinterprets identity. The
electronics she builds are ungrounded and tap into the invisible
ethereal realm. She teaches workshops on versatile technologies, makes
presentations about experimental approaches to technology, and does
consulting with communities new to electronic media and open source
practices. Her Recent exhibitions include: PSE at Video Pool (CA),
Damaged Goods at Piksel '06 (NO), Press Play at Interaccess (CA),
Racines D'origine with Art origine (FR), Make Art Festival '07 (FR),
Encodeurs at Pierre- François Ouellette art contemporain (CA), Media
Povera at the Ottawa Art Gallery (CA) and the HTMlles Festival (CA).
Darsha will be artist in resident at the Western Front Society (CA) in
Spring 08.
~~~ ROBYN MOODY Currently based in Calgary, Alberta, Robyn Moody takes a whimsical approach to his work, using electronics, film, performance, installation, sculpture, painting, or whatever a project requires. He holds an MFA from NASCAD University in Halifax and has exhibited his innovative work extensively within Canada along with projects realized in Amsterdam and Milan. Robyn Moody vit et travaille à Calgary en Alberta. Il aborde son travail dans un esprit ludique, ayant recours à l'électronique, au cinéma, à la performance, à l'installation, à la sculpture, à la peinture ainsi qu'à toute autre discipline requise par ses projets. L'artiste détient une maîtrise en arts plastiques de l'université NSCAD (Halifax). Ses installations, sculptures et performances ont été présentées dans plusieurs galeries à travers le Canada et l'Europe.~~~ KYD CAMPBELL ...is an independent programmer and curator specialized in circulation, media and noise music and is also a digital artist creating public interactive situations. She is from Montreal but remains in constant transit. Remaining independent allows her some freedom to speculate and experiment, to welcome all forms of collaboration and information exchange. http://frontierlab.org http://www.tinynoise.com Longer Farm Description: The Farm works with the idea of an enclosure to metaphorically recast the courtyard of Concordia University's Fine Arts complex into a corral. During daylight hours the installation produces a continuous, amplified audio stream of sounds that are commonly associated with farms and farming life. The audio stream can be paused briefly by working the lever of a hand-operated water pump. The farm assumes that casual visitors to the courtyard might find the soundscape novel and entertaining, but students or staff who frequent the Fine Arts complex and its courtyard would soon tire of the sounds and be compelled to operate the water pump.~~~ MICHAEL CAFFREY ...is an independent electronics arts/music technician, musician and all-round alternative energy enthusiast based in Hull Quebec. Micheal's interest in clean ways of charging batteries began in 1997 when he met a young lady playing a solar powered Casio in the sun. Since then he has been setting up solar powered DC sound systems at DIY dance parties in the woods, mainly with the region's Teknival community. These days Michael is a member of the Montreal based synth psych rock band 'The Unireverse' and is working alongside the Casio player he met in the sun on getting their home off the grid.~~~ MOSHE DANIEL ...is a naturopathic doctor, homeopath, kabbalist, alchemist, free-energy energy researcher and developer, singer/songwriter, and published author. He practices naturopathic medicine in Sutton Quebec, specializing in homeopathy and helping people with myasthenia gravis, an auto-immune illness which he personally experienced and successfully healed. Moshe is also the author of The Last Four Books of Moses, and The Revolution of Naturopathic Medicine. He has just recently launched two projects that are very special to him: His musical album with inspirational poetic music titled the Psalngs of David and the global online project for world unity called EveryNationLand / Nutopia. He wishes everyone to recognize that they are a part of Nutopia and join him in his effort to move the world toward peace and says that EveryNationLand / Nutopia is the culmination of all of his work. Umbrella Website: www.david-house-productions.com Moshe Daniel est naturopathe, kabbaliste, alchimiste, enseignant et auteur et travail sur la creation des "device" pour un energie alternative. Il a notamment appliqué la philosophie de la guérison dans le cadre de son travail avec la maladie auto-immune dénommée myasthenia gravis. La maladie n'a pas arrêter Moshe, et il continue a jouer au ultimate frisbee compétitif. Il est l'auteur du livre sur la Kabbale intitulée The Last Four Books of Moses, Book 1 - The Letting Go of Free Will, ainsi que d'un livre sur la philosophie de la médicine, The Revolution of Naturopathic Medicine. Il est gradué d'un cours avancé en homéopathie et a reçu le titre d'Homéopathe maître clinicien (Homéopathique Master Clinicien, HMC). Il exerce la naturopathie à Montréal (spécialisation en homéopathie et consultation), enseigne la Kabbale, travaille sur un deuxième tome sur la Kabbale ainsi que sur le projet Foundation in Philosophy Project en relation à sa profession de naturopathe. Il termine le développement d'un projet d'unification globale en ligne dénommé EveryNationLand - voyez le site Web en construction: http://www.everynationland.com |
