BIOS:

DARSHA HEWIIT
...is a Canadian artist from Ottawa. She makes sound performances and
installations using experimental electronics, Open- Source programming
software/hardware, ageing technology and public vicinities. Her artwork
looks at the role of automation in everyday life and how
technology-reliant society silences and reinterprets identity. The
electronics she builds are ungrounded and tap into the invisible
ethereal realm. She teaches workshops on versatile technologies, makes
presentations about experimental approaches to technology, and does
consulting with communities new to electronic media and open source
practices. Her Recent exhibitions include: PSE at Video Pool (CA),
Damaged Goods at Piksel '06 (NO), Press Play at Interaccess (CA),

KYD CAMPBELL
...is an independent programmer and curator specialized in circulation,

experiment, to welcome all forms of collaboration and information exchange.

Longer Farm Description:
The Farm works with the idea of an enclosure to metaphorically recast
the courtyard of Concordia University's Fine Arts complex into a corral.
During daylight hours the installation produces a continuous, amplified
audio stream of sounds that are commonly associated with farms and
farming life. The audio stream can be paused briefly by working the
lever of a hand-operated water pump. The farm assumes that casual
visitors to the courtyard might find the soundscape novel and
entertaining, but students or staff who frequent the Fine Arts complex
and its courtyard would soon tire of the sounds and be compelled to
operate the water pump.

MICHAEL CAFFREY
...is an independent electronics arts/music technician, musician and
all-round alternative energy enthusiast based in Hull Quebec.  Micheal's
interest in clean ways of charging batteries began in 1997 when he met a
young lady playing a solar powered Casio in the sun.  Since then he has
been setting up solar powered DC sound systems at DIY dance parties in
the woods, mainly with the region's Teknival community.  These days
Michael is a member of the Montreal based synth psych rock band 'The
Unireverse' and is working alongside the Casio player he met in the sun
on getting their home off the grid.
