2025 open studio dates

Why open studio?

After an intense year of interfacing with various aspects of arts programming and residencies, the process of institutionalized artistic production truly felt exclusive and, in many ways, extractive. I was quite burnt out and might still be recovering from it. Art developed in a closed process and displayed in an exhibition hall does very little when the world outside is burning. Creating opportunities for my process to meet the world and, while that happens, bring people along the way as ideas and curiosity to develop feels like the right path at this time. We could make art that does something. We could make art that lets us be in love with this less-than-perfect world we live in.

Open Studio #2

Exploring ecological metaphors in arts and technology

Join me for Open Studio #2, drawing from insights from Intelligent Terrain, a multi-year research program bridging AI and ecological storytelling. This session invites artists, researchers, and creatives to engage with works-in-progress, discuss speculative ecologies, and explore how digital systems intersect with natural landscapes. Expect informal conversations and a chance to speculate on new ways AI shapes our relationship with place.

Key themes include:

more-than-human relationships
new cultural emergences through machine intelligence
opportunities for artistic expression and collaborations

Feb 18, 2025, 4 pm–6 pm | In-Person | RSVP for address (Ottawa, ON)
