pixelgrain

A project 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 the artists portray a parallel rural community in the midst of transition. pixelgrain also functions as a web portal and utilises GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and online social networks to create a participatory collaborative document that will evolve and grow over time.
