"We are establishing a network of collaborators and gathering a body of pictures and sounds which depict people and places in their social contexts. The participants were solicited from all quarters in and outside of the arts community.
Although long time friends and associates, "The Gathering Space" is Morgan and Leonhardt 's first artistic collaboration. They were inspired by the struggle of the Toronto new media arts community to establish itself, but wanted to make a statement that reflected the broader milieu of urban Canadian life.
From the artists' statement:
"We are establishing a network of collaborators and gathering a body of pictures and sounds which depict people and places in their social contexts. The participants were solicited from all quarters in and outside of the arts community.
The media we are gathering is being compiled and stored in a computer format for use by presentation software at the exhibition site. The installation will be in the form of a dynamic, projected video and audio collage containing the contents of this database. The tempo and order of juxtaposition within the collage will change constantly in response to audience activity, somewhat like a mirror reflecting a parallel world."
