FASTWÜRMS
Toronto, Canada.
Derived from an Old English word, "skry" is the form of clairvoyance achieved by gazing into reflective, flickering objects such as water, candle flames, and crystal balls. Skry-Pod transforms the Sheraton's lobby and normally inaccessible gardens into a zone of divinatory encounters. Tarot readings activated through iTouch, a live tableaux in the glassed-in waterfall, and a VJ mix of the artists' aesthetic meditations on popular culture, natural cycles, and occult philosophy – will continue through the night. For the artists, a "positive economy" is created through a combination of paranormal and environmental activism: true prosperity is only gained by enhancing the personal freedom and well-being of others.
