Carrie is also investigating interactive sound installations for outdoor electronic music events, and is planning two exciting projects for the 10th annual "Connect" festival this year (Regina).

Gates is nearly completed her Art History degree at the UofS, focussing on the discourse of technology and sensual awareness, net.art, and theoretical problems in performance with electronic media.

As an essential bad seed that makes mutations go off, Jon Vaughn has been involved at the conceptual & organizational core with collaborators Carrie Gates & Dermot Wilson of such electronic audio and video festivals as the Digidome Festival of Electronic Art, hosted by Saskatoon-based artist-run centre paved Art & New Media in the (RIP) Ramada Golf Dome (2002) & Phantom Power, hosted by The Kennedy Gallery in North Bay Ontario in a very old haunted opera house performing at the Phantom Power festival in North Bay, Ontario alongside old and new friends Carrie Gates, Max Haiven, Marinko Jareb aka dj <>, tobias c. van Veen, Tomas Jirku, Magali Babin, Mark Laliberte, Chris MacNamara, Kero & Dermot Wilson. Vaughn has been active as a DJ since September, 2001. He has mixed Art 0Galleries and Artist-Run Centres all over the prairies and eastern canada, gay & lesbian fundraiser parties, posh hairdresser/fashion/film-crowd house parties, and most importantly outdoor raves such as the prestigous Connect festival, as 2005 marks Vaughn's fourth consecutive year performing, and in 2003 at the great outdoor Intersect festival in the Kaninaskis Mountains in Alberta. In the summer of 2003, Vaughn was also a featured panelist and performer at Regina-based artist-run centre Common Weal's Sound Symposium. Vaughn’s panel presentation was about "The Internet, Digital Music, and Online Labels". He hopes to speak on more panels and do lectures on other fun arcane topics in the future. In October of 2003, Vaughn released an CD with the Montreal-based label and collective, No Type. The disc was released in conjuction with a live performance at the No Type-curated Pre-rien sub-series of the Rien-a-Voir festival. The CD is entitled ‘Front, and is the result of an intense three-year collaboration with activist and audio-visual artist, Max Haiven, who currently resides in Hamilton. Front is undoubtably Vaughn's (and Haiven's) most experimental, challenging, complex and enjoyable work to date. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BricoLodge is a net.label for eclectic techno, playful composition and complex experimentation that emerged from artistic and cultural exchanges between the site directors, Carrie Gates and Jon Vaughn and other artists from across Canada and the world since the turn of the 21st Century. http://www.notype.com/bricolodge/ bricolodge@gmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
