The 2 DVD-Video represent video and surround sound portraits of four places: Halifax (NS), Montréal (QC), Vancouver (BC), and Springwater (SK). In production since 2000, this series was re-mastered for pubication in the New Media Lab of Oboro in Montréal, while Steve Heimbecker was in residence in 2004. In the bookwork, five contributors were invited to reflect on the “portraits”: Vincent Bonin, Anna Friz, Christof Migone, F Scott Taylor, and Barry Truax. The artist himself contributes a text, which analyzes his last ten years of research.
