This transpires in Danger's art by their intentionally large-scale images that place importance on women-identified, Two-Spirit, transgender, and non-binary people. Their art uses symbolic references to kink communities to critically interrogate visibility and rejection. Danger centers Kin and practicing consent to build artworks that create a suspension of reality wherein complex dynamics of sexuality, gender, and power are exchanged.

JOANI TREMBLAY
Joani Tremblay uses constructed images of landscapes excerpted from social media, advertisements, architecture sites and field research to paint simulated scenes and surreal and abstract landscapes that interrogate our perception of place. The artist assembles found images using digital collage techniques then paints the composition onto canvas. Referencing the digital representation of landscape in our times, Tremblay inverts and flatten perspectives. Fragments of built environments such as thresholds and architecture are used as framing devices to crop, obscure, and layer the landscape, unbuilding and rebuilding. Forms repeat and translate, referencing the speed at which we access content in our digital time. She lives and works in Montréal, Québec and California, USA.

VINCENT ROUTHIER
Vincent Routhier was born from a mathematician father and a documentalist mother, in Lyon, France. He lives and works in Montreal, where he currently finishes a master in Fine Arts, intermedia concentration at Concordia University. Vincent Routhier, a conceptual artist whose multidisciplinary practice finds its bases in philosophical thinking and a science-based approach, examines the possible complementarity of art and science. Considering translation a creative act, the artist develops systems that find expression in large geometric drawings, mathematical formulas, and contextual performances. Taking mathematical concepts—the Pythagorean theorem, duplication of the square, or homothety (geometric transformation)—as his starting point, this artist creates drawings using graphite powder. He lives and works in Montréal, Canda and Lyon, France.
