Cyborg Living Space: Livingroom
Artist: KC Adams
Work ID: 81742
Description: From the Bleach Series: this work was inspired by the obsessive and impossible expectations of Martha Stewart. This interactive space becomes a beautiful (impossible to clean) and isolated sanctuary for the cyborg. The Cyborg Living Spaces installations are deceivingly simple in appearance but are multi-layered with content, mimicking the information overload that our senses are bombarded with every day. I entice my audience to engage in the installations by creating aesthetically beautiful objects that are based on the familiar and require them to use most of their senses. The overall impression is subtle to the point that the viewers have a choice to either accept the work on a surface level or investigate the multiple references within the work.

Cyborg Hybrid Yvonne (Curator) “SPIRITUAL BY DEFAULT
Artist: KC Adams
Work ID: 81754
Description: I photographed artists who fit the Cyborg Hybrid criteria and had them wear white t-shirts with beaded text such as “FORMER LAND OWNER”, “SCALPING IS IN MY BLOOD” and other slogans that would illustrate common Aboriginal racial stereotyping. I also created white chokers for them to wear while I photographed them in stoic poses, mimicking photographs of Aboriginal people from the 19th and early 20th century. Their defiant poses challenge the viewer to try and classify their identity. Cyborg Hybrids aren’t defined by the beaded text on their shirts, they defy them.

Community
Artist: KC Adams
Work ID: 81803
Description: Community was inspired by the organic matrix of a light-conducting, deep-sea sponge. This resilient life-form contains a menagerie of organisms that depend on the sponge for light and habitat. Shaped by the relationship with its inhabitants, each organism develops in symbiosis, creating a micro-environment where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. As a metaphor for United Way, the elegant lines of the artwork reference the interconnections between people and resources within the community, each supporting one another, as the form reaches out and up towards the light.

Ki-tah-pah-tumak aski ethinewak (keeper of the land) Noah’, Fox Lake Cree Nation
Artist: KC Adams
Work ID: 81807
Description: Traveling to northern Manitoba communities the summer of 2015, I was moved by the people who are walking the path of their ancestors. They are Ki-tah-pah-tumak aski ethinewak who are using all their knowledge and power to protect the land and waters in their community. They face resistance from developers, Manitoba Hydro, government and sometimes even their own people. The Ki-tah-pah-tumak aski ethinewak have a strong spiritual connection to Mother Earth, they understand that it is their responsibility to practice humility, reverence and reciprocity towards the land. Otherwise the destruction of the lands and waters will have detrimental effects to their community, but also to people around the world. My intent as a social practice artist is to capture through portraiture their strong spirit, resilient and compassionate nature.
