THE FORTRESS OF HISTORY
INSTALLATION : ART GALLERY OF GREATER VICTORIA
During our explorations of Victoria we collected over 500 objects— bits of plastic, glass, and pottery found along roadsides or the waterfront. A beach in Equimault was a rich source of fragments of coloured glass that have been ground smooth by the action of waves over shoreline rocks. The objects we hung along the gallery walls are the remnants of industrially-created utensils and toys.

The image transformations seen on the video screen were generated in real time using a computer program we designed for this installation. The soundscape was also being generated while the program ran, as sound files from offsite micro-performances were transformed and replayed from four suspended speakers.
