Experienced by bicycle, the project explores cycling as a form of city flânerie as well as an activity that is socially, historically, and politically grounded.

The project is located on the site of the new abandoned Quality Meat Packers plant, in operation from 1914-2014. Closing just shy of its 100th birthday, the abattoir reflected one of the last historical remnants of Toronto’s meatpacking industry. Located in a once industrial area of the city, the factory now lies at the heart of a booming downtown district that has undergone extensive gentrification and urban redevelopment in recent years. Working out of sensory ethnography, the project involved site-specific methods including sensory mapping/participant observation, 360-video documentation, photography, field soundscape recordings, community interviews, and archival research. As a focal point of the neighbourhood, the site is activated into a “sensory archive” in which narratives around food production, industry, labour, public health, heritage, community, and displacement branch out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/563d004fe4b07255a4656e82/1568248720409-I4GMCX9BKZ5HYBDA1QA3/Title+Image_final.png Hogtown Sensory Archive Hogtown Sensory Archive is an interactive archive in VR that explores the multiple histories and communities surrounding Toronto’s last operating abattoir.

Ruderal plants deemed invasive are often maligned because of their unruly movements that transgress the borders established by settler power. In settler Toronto, Geary Street's ruderal identity is made of a blend of ecologies, histories, and uses, as well as a juxtaposition of contrasting urban and natural environments in one ecosystem. Through an augmented reality experience, rudus highlights marginal ruderal species in the surrounding landscape to unsettle these complex histories and relations, allowing visitors to rethink their relations to the changing landscape and its unruly ruderal creatures who cohabit this space. Ruderal plant life growing along the railway and green spaces that make up Geary Street’s ruderal identity have been “excavated” and collected through 3D scanning to be re-embedded back into the landscape through AR.
