Digital Salvage

The Digital Salvage Art Collective is a Winnipeg, Manitoba-based experiment in memory, machine, and the North—where AI drifts through abandoned archives and forgotten code, reassembling echoes into something new. It’s art as algorithm, history as signal, a collaboration between human instinct and artificial perception. Here, youth and artists don’t just recover the past—they rewire it, remix it, let it glitch and evolve, forging a living archive that pulses with both human and machine imagination.
AI tackles the grit of Northern waste management, turning chaotic coordination into streamlined success. Young innovators built this to sharply cut effort for vital community work.

In Music

Jukebox In Exile is the new country music album from Flin Flon singer-songwriter C.C. Trubiak, blending classic country, honky-tonk, Americana and traditional storytelling into a collection of songs inspired by resilience, community and life in Northern Manitoba. Written during and after the 2025 Flin Flon wildfire evacuation, the album draws influence from country music legends including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings and George Jones. Featuring the singles "Old Country Songs," "Being Rich" and the charting track "Outlaws Meditation," Jukebox In Exile showcases Trubiak's signature songwriting while celebrating small-town life, northern Canadian culture, queer country music and the enduring spirit of Flin Flon. The album is available now on major music streaming platforms.
Manitoba's own C.C. Trubiak's new album "Jukebox in Exile" dropped on June 5! Check it out!
