THE WAVES is a collaboration between architect/installation artist Christie Pearson, myself and various other folks, with a view to creating installations and events involving sound and light celebrating water. Connecting to the depths, we explore the historical, ecological and political importance of water in natural environments and neglected local histories in human and non-human communities.

Our first event was the now (in)famous Night Swim, an all-night pool party/festival/installation held at the Trinity-Bellwoods public swimming pool during Toronto's first Nuit Blanche, featuring live pool-side performances and experiments by Raz Mesinai, Marina Rosenfeld, Tim Hecker, Sandro Perri, FM3, Windy and Carl and many others.  We are currently working on a second event, possibly for summer 2010.
