Nancy Nisbet :: The Exchange Project
June 4th at 4:30PM
Innis Town Hall - University of Toronto
2 Sussex Avenue, Toronto

On Sunday June 4th at 4:30PM, artist Nancy Nisbet's truck will pull
up in front of Innis Townhall in Toronto where The Subtle
Technologies Festival will host an Exchange event. Please bring items
to trade!

Multidisciplinary artist Nancy Nisbet explores the boundaries of free
trade, surveillance, and the politics of exchange from the back of a
semi-transport truck. Over the next 6 months artist and professor
Nancy Nisbet will drive a transport truck in excess of 30,000 km
across Canada, the United States and Mexico as part of her Exchange
project. The items available for trade will include all her worldly
possessions, which have been catalogued and tagged with Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) technology - a widely used, but =

invasive form of consumer tracking. Along the way she will stop in
major cities and engage in “free trades” with people she =

encounters - exchanging a variety of goods based on the value and=

richness of their stories, rather than any sort of material currency.
