CSV’s Maker Space Residency presents… 📹📱

I Made This For You combines social media content, user input, generative art, and projection mapping to create an immersive environment. Conceived as an evolving system, the installation will be iterated throughout its presentation, using audience interaction and feedback to explore how perceptions of algorithmic identity shift over time. 

Created by Nathan Scott, a strategy and communications professional and emerging interdisciplinary artist working across storytelling, digital media, and experience design. His background in communications—spanning brand narrative, content strategy, and multimedia production—centres on crafting stories that resonate across platforms and audiences, with a focus on how people engage, interpret, and move through mediated experiences.

Join us for our *Opening event July 24th* and/or ead more at the link in our bio. 

Exhibition Dates: ⏱️📆
Fri - July 24th, 2026 6:30 - 9pm **Opening Night**
Sat - July 25th 12 - 4pm 
Sun - July 26th 12 - 4pm 

This event will also be the official launch of our new transformed gallery space, creating a more versatile and technically advanced venue for media arts exhibitions, screenings, installations, performances, and community programming. The project was made possible through a capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. ✨✍🏼

*CSV MAKER SPACE - Exhibit details*

Introducing: School’s Out! 🏫✨

School’s Out! is a hybrid film, installation, and live performance work exploring what happens when adulthood becomes a game nobody remembers agreeing to play.

Inside the exhibit, performers dressed in business attire engage in childhood games and playground rituals with unwavering professional commitment. Hopscotch becomes procedure. Sticker charts become performance reviews. Skip ropes, lineups, and recess activities unfold with the solemnity of corporate protocol.

Created by Ashley Frück Siomos; a writer, filmmaker, and multidisciplinary artist based in Tkaronto. Ashley’s work explores intimacy, performance, and the peculiar rituals people invent to survive being human. Blending humour, surrealism, and social observation, she is drawn to the gap between what people feel and what they perform for one another.

ShowTimes for School’s Out: June 27th, 2026 @ 1 to 3PM

Additional Dates: *TBA* 😌✨

*CSV MAKER SPACE - Exhibit details*

Introducing: Zerno 🎶🍃

A live audiovisual performance, Dorraa will play an electronic set exploring ecological themes — the continuity between human bodies and the living planet, shared patterns across species, and the interconnectedness of the Earth as a body we are part of rather than separate from.

With vVisuals will responding in real time toe music performed: melodic motif detection software will listen for repeating patterns as they emerge in the performance, to grow trees on screen for each one.

Created by Dorraa, a Toronto-based musician and composer, trained in classical piano and jazz. Dorraa layers live keyboard performance with sampled textures into music that responds to the room — improvising to meet the energy of each moment.

ShowTimes for ZERNO: June 27th, 2026 @ 4PM, 9PM, and 10PM ✨🎋

*CSV MAKER SPACE - Exhibit details*📍✨

Introducing The GOLUS project: combining images of Khrushchevka (prefabricated era social housing from Khrushchev-era Soviet Union) with renders of houses & landscapes, and blends of remixes & archival audio recordings of Jewish Folk Songs, the GOLUS project imagines a reality in which Antisemitism did not force Jews out of their traditional shtetls and homes in Eastern Europe.

Drawing from Doikayt (a Jewish political theory advocating for ‘hereness’ as opposed to Jewish Nationalist and Zionist theories) the GOLUS project imagines Jewish futures built upon underground expressions of music, blood ties, and a relationship with the land.

Created by Kerub, a Toronto-based, but Vancouver-born singer, producer, A/V artist, icon, and weirdo.
