Here's why toast is perfect: it knows things are going to get messy. Jam drips. Butter melts. Peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth. Toast doesn't judge. It just holds it all together long enough for you to take a bite. Our infrastructure is built on that same principle. Research in the arts is inherently sloppy—half-formed ideas, process artifacts, things that don't fit in boxes. The system isn't there to clean it up. It's there to catch it before it hits the floor.

This is a snapshot of our arts incubator as a living network rather than a collection of separate projects. We’ve been experimenting with knowledge graphs, mapping, and data visualization, but the process has also become a creative way to look back through our own work and discover relationships that aren't always obvious when everything is sitting in separate folders, spreadsheets, and posts.
Community Projects

Mapping What We’ve Been Up To

Traditional data visualization often flattens complex histories into static, two-dimensional charts that tell a frozen story.

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!
