• Jon Vaughn is a Saskatoon-based audio-visual artist, DJ, writer, events coordinator/programmer/curator, and student at the University of Saskatchewan, majoring in Art History. His work often explores the politics of difference that emerge when clashing concepts or media together, and how this mixing transforms our perception and experience of our ‘known’, ‘everyday’ or ‘normal’ world and opens up gateways into new, unknown and/or sub-worlds. These interests are often emancipated through his collaborations with other artists. Carrie Gates, Max Haiven, David Turgeon (Camp), Aimé Dontigny, Constantine Katsiris (scant intone), Jeff Morton (nuthre), Cindy Baker, Cal Crawford, Dermot Wilson, Nicolas Krapels (n.kra) & Maureen Bradley are among his current collaborators.

• Max Haiven is an audio/video artist, activist, and student currently residing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Haiven’s work attempts to bridge these three roles and work to create works, actions, and texts which both empower and explore. Haiven extends his audio work with his works as a VJ and video artist. In 2001 he was awarded a scholarship from the Halifax Centre for Art Tapes artist-run centre to study and document explorations in video feedback. He is currently researching activist media production.
