October 1, 2011

LeuWebb Projects (2011)

"Yonge Street will become a public space with furniture created from vanishing media merchants:

photoshops, record stores and booksellers."

The Heart Machine (2010)

Interactive Sculpture

"How we perceive technology guides our interactivity with the machine.

Do we watch passively for the machine to react to our presence or do we take active control?

Do we reach out and explore without fear or do we wait to take the lead from others?"

Christine Irving - Toronto, Canada

enwinged, to re-imagine the city and the way we move through it."

New Dawn Fades (2011)

and material labour within trans-national economies"
