Eliza Houg is a student in the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University (NSCAD) in Halifax, Nova Scotia and is an alumnus of the Yukon School of Visual Arts (YSOVA) in Dawson City, Yukon. As a research assistant to the Camera Obscura Project she organized and hosted a digital pinhole video workshop one week in advance of the Midnight Sun Camera Obscura Festival. Participating artists’ footage was edited into a loop with sound edited by Houg and then projected in various sheds around Dawson City. The projections were then live streamed worldwide as well as specifically to a computer in the exhibition ... strange things done ... in YSOVA’s Confluence Gallery during the Festival.
