Initiated by artists Michael Alstad + Leah Lazariuk, pixelgrain is an online repository of documents and ideas linked to the fading symbol of the Canadian prairie grain elevator. By systematically documenting and mapping these disappearing structures - and interviewing people associated with them - the artists portray a parallel rural community in the midst of transition. pixelgrain also functions as a web portal that utilises Geographic Information Systems and thematic online networks to create a participatory collaborative document that will evolve and grow over time.
Please contribute to the project and submit your grain elevator themed videos to the group. If possible please tag with location coordinates.
