Leduc 2 was presented at Soundasaurus this year. It was an experiment for me. We have so much oil and gas history and data collected by the province. I wanted to explore a way to look at it other than just in spreadsheets. I also wanted to keep the politics out of it.
IHS kindly helped me get access to 40 years of production data and some old data images as well. Without their help I would not have been able to make this work. Thanks very much!
I presented on the same night as Negativeland. Mark Hosler spoke and showed a large amount of work and videos. I have to admit that I’d wondered about the lost hit of one of my favourite bands and now that question has been cleared up. The whole thing reminds me a bit of Sesame Street; brought to you by the letter u and the number 2. I did buy a copy of their DVD.
The one thing that happened that was very unexpected was that I got my own dressing room at the Epcore. Swank! Now I just have to make sure to keep myself grounded. I can’t get too used to having my name in lights. Let me entertain you?!
The interesting thing about this was that the three people in the EMMEDIA workshop put on by Adam Tindale late last year ended up in Soundasaurus this year. Shaun Frisen Adan and I all had pieces presented or performances.
When did this happen? Thursday January 21, 2010.
