Second Site collective.

Diana Burgoyne, Peter Courtemanche, David Floren, Ken Gregory, Robin Ripley, Matt Smith, and Lori Weidenhammer.

 

Second Site collective is a group of artists (mostly from Vancouver, Canada) who create and present electronic art (sound, kinetics, robotics, primal circuitry, sculpture) in public spaces. The collective is particularly interested in green spaces - parks, gardens, areas of urban agriculture, beaches, and "urban wilderness". The art created by Second Site causes the audience to do a "double take", transforming a familiar space into a "meta-site". A meta-site is a place where art has created a heightened sensory experience. It causes a sense of curiosity and enchantment in the viewer. A meta-site is a place where one hears a set of sounds behind the expected sounds, where familiar sites are remapped and re-inscribed with artistic inventions.
