May 22 performance: WELCOME
The weather on the whole this weekend has been pretty dismal. But somehow, I manage to keep rain drops at bay while we have been out there doing our thing.
I'm really happy that I took the time to wander around when I arrived in Ottawa... time to look at potential locations and get a feel for where I wanted to place what, to see if any spots spoke to me.
The site we are occupying for today's intervention, WELCOME, is just perfect. This corner island is slightly elevated and sits amid a variety of main attractions. We are in between the Château Laurier and the Conference Centre, with Sparks Street, and Parliament Hill behind us, as well as the fabulous vista that overlooks the locks of the Rideau Canal and the Gatineaus way beyond (are these the Gatineau Mountains? I should check my facts before I state this. Someone, please correct my error if I am indeed mistaken!).
Five of us are lined up to, once again, follow the curved shape of the stone balustrade behind us (of course now reminiscent of the curve that the kissing couples filled in front of the fountain on William Street, two days earlier).
So again the performance people both fit in with - and respond to - the architecture at hand, as well as create an out-of-the-ordinary dynamic with passers-by. We are living statues. We create a brief monument/moment in time.
I love the possibility of this dual role - one that underscores the body's simultaneous relation to other living (yet mortal) beings and to the "permanent" structures all around us (the stairs, the buildings, the mountains, the monuments).
The outcome is stellar. That is to say, we are wonderfully situated on a site that virtually becomes a stage. People walk past us with smiles, waves, questions, confused looks, sometimes disdained looks, and many many cameras! We are now part of a whole whack of pedestrian's and tourist's photo albums. Part of their experience of visiting Ottawa.
I think I (inadvertently) picked the ideal time to do this - it is a holiday weekend and the fact of the not-so-great weather did nothing to deter people's outdoor escapades.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today?s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
