About the Artists
Aganetha Dyck is a Canadian artist interested in environmental issues – specifically the power of the small. She is interested in interspecies communication. Her research asks questions about the ramifications all living beings would experience should honeybees disappear from earth.
Known for making art that frequently employs black humour and hovers on the edge of public acceptance, Diana Thorneycroft has pursued subject matter that often challenges her viewing audience. As a child, Thorneycroft lived on a Canadian military base near Baden-Baden, Germany. The Black Forest was her playground and has had a profound influence on her artistic practice.
Reva Stone is a Canadian artist whose work is informed by a broad theoretical context that includes an examination of the mediation between our bodies and the technologies that are altering how we interact with the world. In her most recent work, she is examining how artificial intelligence algorithms are used in forms of surveillance that enters our homes – those intimate spaces we currently consider private. She is particularly interested in the consequences to our subjectivities if what we are not yet able to render into digital form – our thoughts, dreams, hopes and memories – become digital.
