LIVE! From our house(s) to yours!

We kicked off this year’s Hibernation Project with the return of The Hibernation Station – back by popular demand to a computer near YOU! Viewers tuned in via Zoom to watch our answer to public access television: live performances, video art, infomercials, political comedy, mini documentaries, news and weather together. Unhindered by geography, participating artists were based across North America (Calgary, Victoria, Toronto, Montreal, Grand Rapids, and beyond!) Thank you to all the artists who participated, and all the viewers who attended!

For your viewing pleasure, this blog includes most of the videos and performances from Saturday’s Hibernation Station. Enjoy the show!
