Documentation of SIGNAL/FLOE
SIGNAL/FLOE documented by Pat Bonner, Edited by Michael McCormack. Sound is a collaboration between Michael McCormack and by Colin Hill. Audio track is an altered recording of a heartbeat, which I then distorted to sound like a sonar or radar. Thinking of the mechanisms within the body that act like the radar, a pulse, or … Continue reading
STATION and Future Telephone at YAC
Installing the show, visiting old Yukon pals, dog sledding, northern lights, it’s been a helluva week in Whitehorse.

Fishin’ with Jon
It’s been a blast this week. Installing on the river. Lots of family helping out, my cousin Jonathan Cosman and my grandfather both pitching in, helping me haul water from the brook on a sled to the barrel moulds. So far we have 14 barrels out there, hoping to get at least 12 more tomorrow. … Continue reading
SIGNAL/FLOE Part one
Today has been the first full day work of a week-long installation on the Kennebecasis River in Renforth Cove, NB. I am exhausted, but feel the need to jot down a few things before hitting the pillow and calling it a night. Like anything, there is a thousand ways in which you can do something. … Continue reading
Processing Fog
Thanks to CFAT’s residency I have been able to collect a fair amount of recordings of fog horns, oceans, seascapes, seagulls and other sounds using their portable zoom recorders. It is always challenging finding just the right time to go out collecting because of course it depends greatly on weather there is fog at the … Continue reading
Past/Future Developments
It seems that time has proceeded without me, while I have been busy with holidays, birthdays, family life, and with preparing for two upcoming shows. Lots of correspondence, and organizational preparation can stall development. However, I think I have failed to update everyone on the progression of my work since the field recording trip to … Continue reading

I realize that many people who came across the work in the early stages of it’s development … Continue reading
What is “off-season” anyways?
It has been a number of years since I’ve been to PEI in the “off-season”. Even while looking at places to stay online I could see that the switch was off on most accommodation options outside of Charlottetown, Summerside and Montegue. It’s already been a few months into this project, and I finally found a week … Continue reading

Back to the FUTURE TELEPHONE
About a year ago, Pan Wendt, the curator of the Art Gallery at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery called me up to ask about doing a my project BEACON for Art in the Open.
