Spacing Magazine: 20 People we Love 


I was featured in Spacing Magazine’s list of “20 People we Love” as part of their 20th Anniversary issue in December, 2023. It was an honour to be included on a list featuring a wide range of artists, activists, planners, and organizers that have contributed so much to the city!

Working as an artist in Toronto for so many years has led to being featured on local news/culture/arts website blogTO on many occasions. Please enjoy this incomplete list of my appearances on blogTO!


Social Distance Machine


When COVID-19 first hit Toronto, we were asked to keep 2 metres between each other, but there was hardly enough space on the sidewalks to do so. As part of the Toronto Public Space Committee, Bobby Gadda and I created the “Social Distancing Machine”, showcased via a humourous video to demonstrate the lack of space for pedestrians while advocating for the City to close streets to cars to facilitate physical distancing. Here are some local and international media highlights:


#KeepthePillarsTO


In an effort to save a beautiful remnant of the city’s concrete heritage, I started a petition to preserve the semi-circle of pillars leftover from the removal of the York Street off-ramp. Unsuccessful, I collaborated with Zoë Abrams to produce The Pillars Picnic, a multi-disciplinary music and arts fest set amongst the pillars.

ON THE RADIO


February 2015
Monocle 24 Radio, The Urbanist
I speak with Angela Shackel on the experience of taking the ferry to the Toronto Islands - a fantastic experience of watching the city recede into an electric mass, toward the wild forests and little villages of the Islands.

January 2015
CBC Radio One, Toronto, Spark
I talk to host Nora Young about a phenomenon I’ve experienced amongst my friends: the rise of “digital peasantry”. Veronica Simmonds produced the piece and interviewed a close friend. Beyond the analogy, Veronica exposes the real physical labour associated with the production of technology. Listen here.

August 2012
News 95.7, Halifax, Maritime Morning
Interview about the possibility of a 3rd harbour bridge in Halifax, and why this would lead to more congestion on the Halifax Peninsula. I propose that we think of “mobility” rather than public transit versus cars. Listen here.

August 2011
CIUT 88.1 FM, Halifax, Habitat
Interview with Veronica Simmonds about my Fuller Lecture, where I explore why cities are natural, and how that shifts the conversation of environmentalism toward social justice.


IN PHOTOS




Now Magazine spotted me at the Artist’s Newsstand at Chester Station on the 50th birthday of the Bloor-Danforth subway in March 2016.



BlogTO captured a group of friends and I skating on Toronto Bay in winter 2015, a tradition that is getting popular again. Read more about wild skating on my blog.



The Globe and Mail caught me deeply considering Toronto on
a ferry trip across the Bay from the winter Island in 2014.
