Current & Future Projects:

<> September the 6th, 2004 in the park adjacent to Metro Square Victoria, our first public intervention <> had taken place. The idea was born when 2 members of the collective, Marc-Antoine and Pamela Cantor realised it was possible to create a special connection through their eyes. Both artists had different motives in the carrying out of this eye-contact experiment; one was curious to see if it was possible to have a similar experience with others, while the other was curious to see the different reactions and whether people would be able to receive or not receive projected positive energy. This intervention is not over; we would like to carry it out in different locations supported by documentation.

Nomadic project:

A rough idea in progress on the theme of nomadism: using the artist's body, performance, process, written text and fabric. This will be a public intervention and the site in question is Windsor station. This project is open to collaboration with other individuals, collectives and organisations.

Future projects:

Homeless Project

A multi-media project on the theme of homelessness. This project aims to create collaboration with other organisations that work with homeless people as well as other artistic collectives creating projects surrounding this theme such. This project aims to take a highly ethical anti-arrogant stance and hopes to make genuine connections with the homeless. Hopefully this project could aim to educate as well as demystify. Open to collaboration with other individuals, collectives and organisations.

Future events:

Birth Event

A birth event will take place to advertise to Montreal, who * is and to invite other people to join. We hope to create a multi-disciplinary music/per formative/visual event where there is no separation between audience and entertainers i.e. audience creates the entertainment they need/want to see. This is an intervention to take the passivity away from entertainment
