2026 | Curation | Artist Residency + Multi-Site Exhibition
When Does the Wired Body Come Home was a two-month residency that culminated in a multi-site exhibition of sculpture and augmented reality artworks, presented in storefront windows along Queen Street West, Toronto. The project was co-curated and facilitated by Christina Dovolis and Evangeline Y. Brooks.
13 featured artists were tasked with imagining a world that invites the right-to-repair for human and machine bodies alike, reframing the cyborg not as a metaphor, but as a reality of those living with synthetic interventions and computerized body parts. Throughout the residency, we facilitated workshops and talks related to the theme, including 3D printing, woodworking, laser cutting, a Tai Chi workshop by Haoran Chang, and a More-Than-Human Augmentation talk by Amber Hu. Artists created small sculptures (cyborgs) alongside corresponding augmented reality experiences, bridging physical and digital. The pieces were installed in street-facing windows along Queen Street West, with 10 commercial organizations partnering to showcase the work. Throughout the expansive exhibition, we led walking tours highlighting the artworks, augmented reality how-to, and participating storefronts.
