Artists Laura Kavanaugh and Ian Birse are on a trans-Canadian trek, from Makkovik in Labrador to Vancouver — which they will reach in January 2010. Their cross-country cultural odyssey — an art-project-in-motion called “Instantplaces-Canadawide” — includes performances, a blog, community workshops and podcasts.
Everywhere they go, they help and encourage other to Canadians to share their corners of the country on Canada CODE. All of these submissions — as well as those by the Instantplaces team — are being collected together in their Instantplaces Gallery. http://www.instantplaces.ca
Once Kavanaugh and Birse reach Vancouver, they will create a media installation based on their journey that will be included in CODE Live, a celebration of digital creativity happening that is part of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.
