  • Brad Wadden

    White’s Lake, NS

    “The guys go out and they burn the fuck out of their cars, and they don’t care how much it costs them because it’s fun, it’s something to do. Why? Just for fun, to pass the time. Why do people do anything, really?”

  • Lori Hersberger

    artist
    Zurich, Switzerland

    “The driver of a motorcycle can be very close to the artist. The motorcycle driver is a person who is driving, who has a tool to escape. It gives you some power. It gives you a tool to get to another place, to create the idea of freedom.”

    “I started realizing that anything in the environment could be interpreted as instructions, or a record of an event, and that music was really a series of patterned events.”

  • Steven Laurie

    artist
    Toronto, Ontario

    “I use the byproducts of sound, smell, and performance to provoke discussion and reaction. My machines are hyper-masculine tools that emphasize the relationships between the male body, extension, attachment, and exhibitionism.”
