FLOWCHANGE is a group exhibition that unfolds as a mixed-reality biome, where distinctions between the real and the rendered begin to blur. In this exhibition, nature is not something to be recovered or restored, but something continuously re-authored through technology, imagination, and lived experience.
Bringing together Toronto-based artists Alex McLeod, Laura Kay Keeling, Diana Lynn VanderMeulen, Sabrina Ratté, Willy Le Maitre, Ali Phi, Quinn Hopkins, and Amanda Amour-Lynx, FLOWCHANGE presents new works that explore how immersive media, projection, extended reality, data, and digital materiality can reshape our understanding of ecology, memory, and presence.
Across the exhibition, digital environments feel inhabitable and intimate rather than representational. Alex McLeod approaches simulated space through the perspective of the non-player character, foregrounding overlooked viewpoints and ambient agency within constructed worlds. Laura Kay Keeling recomposes fragments of the natural and domestic through collage to form ecosystems shaped by augmentation, play, colour, and accumulation. Diana Lynn VanderMeulen extends spatial sensibility through sculptural video works as atmospheric environments where light, water, and air exist in constant transition.
A positioning of environment and transformation continues in Sabrina Ratté’s PHARMAKON, an interactive installation in which a printed herbarium becomes a gateway to a liminal virtual garden. Drawing from speculative ecology, natural sciences, and occult traditions, the work explores the unstable boundary between remedy and poison. Willy Le Maitre engages immersion through a new virtual reality work from his ongoing investigation of the inhabited image, situating participants within a fragmented panoramic landscape at the surface of the Humber River, where physical surroundings bleed into recorded nature through shifting light and spatial sound.
Moving from landscape to memory and identity, Ali Phi works with data-driven memory visualization, translating personal and collective data into immersive visual and sonic forms that reflect on how memory is stored, abstracted, and re-experienced through digital systems. Quinn Hopkins bridges Indigenous futurism and extended reality through tactile, motion-activated works that weave ancestral knowledge with contemporary technology, activating digital space as a living, responsive environment. Amanda Amour-Lynx leads the exhibition toward care and relationality, engaging speculative digital forms through practices grounded in kinship, softness, and collective nurturing.
Rather than resolving the relationship between nature and technology, FLOWCHANGE holds them together as a shared terrain. The exhibition invites viewers to slow down, linger, and feel through shifting ecologies where perception softens, time stretches, and care emerges as a collective practice.
