Amanda Dawn Christie
_TRANSMISSIONS,_ is an improvisational performance for analogue and digital technologies that explores radio waves and dreaming; satellites and ideas; wireless internet and cell phones; television and radio broadcasts; all of these signals contribute to complex interconnected webs of invisible landscapes and invisible architectures passing through our bodies in every time and in every space. The analogue aspect of the live performance involves the manipulation of 16mm film loops through the use of prisms, mirrors, and lenses, which distort the images while sending them beyond the rectangular perimeter of the screen. The digital aspect of the live performance involves the real time processing of short wave radio sounds through the use of a kaoss pad.

Amanda Dawn Christie is an interdisciplinary artist working in experimental film, video installation, contemporary dance, photography, and electroacoustic sound design. Since 1997, Amanda has been actively serving on various boards of artist run centres, teaching workshops, publishing articles, and serving on juries across Canada. She completed a Master of Fine Arts degree at Simon Fraser University School for the Contemporary Arts in Vancouver, before moving to Amsterdam. After living in the Netherlands for a year, she moved back to Canada to work as production supervisor at the Faucet Media Arts Centre and Struts Gallery. She currently works as the director of the Galerie Sans Nom in Moncton, while continuing to maintain and develop her own active art practice.

Kerri Flannigan
Fist Press is a bittersweet coming of age tale, a folk history, a memory of migration and a documentary of the early Finnish presence in Northern Ontario. Both personal and archival, this presentation recounts tales of migrant labour, radicalism, diasporic matchmaking and funeral processions. Fist Press (Nyrkki Lehti) is the name of Finnish handwritten newsletters in North America that were said to serve as “guides, interpreters, teachers and intimate friends”.

Kerri Flannigan is a Montreal-based interdisciplinary artist, originally from Deep River, Ontario. Through drawing, writing, projection, and installation, Flannigan explores methods of experimental narrative and documentary. Grounded in both personal history and in-depth research, her work examines the wayward histories of small towns, coming of age memoirs and family histories.
