As part of our Maker Space residency, CSV invites you to ✨Enter the Abyss ✨

What happens when machines try to mimic the voice of nature—yet end up sounding more like us than the world they imitate?

Radio Abyss, a haunting sound installation by Daria Dora Morgacheva, invites you into a space where AI-generated voices echo birdsong, rustling leaves, and human emotion—but nothing is quite as it seems.

These digital phantoms speak in familiar tones, but their words are empty, begging the question: Why do we still listen?

Cross the threshold between real and artificial.
Question what you hear—and what you believe.
Allow the abyss to reflect you back to yourself.

📍Exhibition Dates 📍

Week 1: Sept 4–6 | Week 2: Sept 11–13

💥Also, don’t miss the Closing Performance on Sept 13 (6–10pm) – an immersive live experience that will encourage you to listen differently.

Welcome to Radio Abyss.

Join CSV at TIFF and earn C$V bucks for your time!

Charles Street Video member and longtime friend of the community, Maziar Ghaderi ( ), is inviting CSV artists and volunteers to be part of his upcoming TIFF installation.

This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience producing a large-scale holographic work at one of the world’s major film festivals.

The piece—titled Corridoor—will be over 24 feet long and seen by half a million+ visitors. There’s also space for creative input, especially in shaping the mise en scène around the central holographic corridor.

We’re looking for media artists eager to:
🎬 Contribute ideas
🌟 Assist with production
👥 Be part of a high-profile TIFF project

💡 Volunteers will also receive C$V bucks in exchange for their time!

If you’re interested in collaborating or volunteering, reach out—we’d love to have support from CSV’s best and brightest to make this vision come alive.

📩 To volunteer, contact: [email protected]

📸 Photo courtesy of the artist: Nuit Blanche holographic installation at The Well (8x8x8 ft). The TIFF version will be scaled up to 24ft!
