Year Zero One is pleased to present Pixelgrain: Mapping Transition in the Canadian Prairies, a web project by artists Michael Alstad + Leah Lazariuk. Pixelgrain is an online repository of documents and ideas linked to the fading symbol of the Canadian prairie grain elevator. By systematically documenting and mapping these disappearing structures - and interviewing people associated with them - the artists portray a parallel rural community in the midst of transition. Pixelgrain also functions as a web portal that utilises Geographic Information Systems and thematic online networks to create a participatory collaborative document that will evolve and grow over time.

Year Zero One is a media arts collective committed to the production, development and distribution of electronic media art through net based projects and site-specific public art exhibitions.
