Ghostwood a/v is an audio-visual installation which investigates the  psychogeography of Ontario's northern wilderness. It is primarily  focused on the use of infrasound, provided by specially-constructed  tactile transducers, and is supported with a single-channel video  component. It is part of an ongoing series of sound-art projects which  investigates the liminal spaces which exist between humans and their  natural environment. The project title is a reference to those  suburban neighbourhoods in which the sole memory of what has been  displaced or eradicated as a result of their construction survives in  the now-prosaic street names ('Valleyview', 'Forest Hill', etc.). This  version of the project focuses on the 'near north', rural areas where  the encroachment of civilization has clearly begun, but in which  nature has yet to be suppressed as a dominating force.
