• Here's a short, only somewhat tongue-in-cheek text I wrote based on the electronic media art courses I've taught over the years: Common Errors in Conceptualizing Media Artworks.

• I'm one of the organizers of GOSH!: Grounding Open Source Hardware, a cross-disciplinary summit on the cultural uses and potential of open-source hardware, to be held at at the Banff Centre in July 2009. Check out the official details here, or the planning wiki here

• One Free Minute hits the streets of Montreal in May 2009 as part of La Biennale de Montréal. Come ride with us every Saturday in May as we broadcast your speeches in public space.

• Ground Station, an installation that converts the positons of orbiting GPS satellites into music, is part of the exhibtion Science in Art/ La Science dans l'Art, viewable online at the Virtual Museum of Canada.

Documentation:

One Free Minute is a mobile sculpture designed to allow for instances of anonymous public speech.

Ground Station, in collaboration with Quebecois composer Jocelyn Robert, makes music from GPS satellite data, while questioning the infrastructure from which this data comes.

Shift Shift is an interactive work that questions how technology changes the familiarity of a simple body movement. Viewers who interact with Shift become involved in a dialogue of control, seeing their own movements reproduced across the room.

Room for Walking looks at the conception of physical space that we are presented with by remote sensing technologies.

Untitled Ball was the first in a series of works investigating the interactive environment in a bodily, kinaesthetic way.
