Hi I’m Adam. I taught film and culture at a small college, and now clean and maintain the facilities at Centre des Arts Visuels, in Westmount.

Music/audio and interactive sculpture are my creative practices.

I’m straight, but not narrow. Until women, the differently-abled, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Trans Folx & Worker’s rights are universally protected, no human is really free.
