Our featured installations

Triadic Mutualism
By Ove Holmqvist

Location: Hubs – Toronto, Kingston, Vancouver

Triadic Mutualism is a participatory telematic performance that links three venues into a shared musical improvisation. Using physical computing and affective computing, the work senses movement, stillness, proximity, and synchrony inside a projected field, then translates those collective signals into musical changes that are heard locally and echoed remotely. Projected visuals guide participation and are controlled by both present and remote groups. They are not decorative. They function as an interaction surface and an active component of the music generation, making musical structure visible and offering clear opportunities to intervene. Bio-informed pacing treats shifts in activation and recovery as meaningful cues, shaping intensity, density, and stability over time. Each venue develops its own motif and momentum, while network coupling lets shifts in one city nudge the others, creating cycles of alignment, tension, and release. There is no controller or fixed score. Participants learn the rules by moving, listening, and adjusting.

Us Beneath the Current
By Sarah Hin Ching U 

Location: Hubs – Toronto, Kingston, Vancouver 

Meet the artist in person at our Vancouver Hub, where she will be performing!

Us Beneath the Currents is an augmented reality (AR) performance-installation , inspired by humans’ remarkable capacity to adapt to changing environments. This AR project utilizes real-time full body tracking technology where viewers can access the AR experience from their mobile devices, witnessing live performers dancing with their 3D digital avatars. This project is powered by Gennee.AR, a free, web-page site
