1. Cyborgs in the Mist

   Cyborgs in the Mist is an enquiry which takes the form of a movie, a sound
   installation, photo prints, and a book. The film presents the LOPH research lab
   and its utopian proposals to struggle against the planned obsolescence of
   humankind. Taking into account the development of robotics and artificial forms
   of intelligence, the LOPH research lab experiments with ways to help humans
   adapt to their new environment, and to put them in a position to fight against their planned obsolescence. How can we anticipate this shift in the logic of evolution?
   How can we adapt to this change with a minimum of violence? Academic teams,
   science-fiction writers, and new forms of artificial intelligence work together to
   anticipate the most disastrous scenarios.

2. Coral Short & Visionaries

   Through a mystical tarot card, Future Visions presents a multitude of possible
   futures. Angela Gabereau and Coral Short, the “mothers” of the project, sent out
   an open and uncensored call for submissions and were able to assemble more
   than eighty predictions in a collection of "queer futures". The contributions reflect — by means of filmed performances, tutorials, music, video mixing, etc. — on a
   future free from hate, prejudice and the yoke of heteronormativity. While this
   collection is forward-looking, its visions reflect the present-day concerns of the
   queer community that too often go unnoticed.

3. TimeTraveller™

   Covering 600 years of history, from pre-Colombian America to a present in 2121,
   TimeTraveller™ follows the journey of Hunter, a Montreal Mohawk who wishes to
   learn about his ancestors and to seek an alternative to his consumerist world. In
   this science-fiction narrative, combining factual history and hypothetical futures,
   the main protagonist travels through time by logging on his edutainment system,
   his TimeTraveller™. His multiple immersions in indigenous history, from the
   Minnesota Massacre in 1875 to the Oka Crisis in 1990, leads him to meet
   Karahkwenhawi at the occupation of Alcatraz Island in 1969 with whom he falls in
   love. The work comprises a website and nine machinima episodes created in
   Second Life.
