"We are waging a war against nature. If we win it, we're lost."

Hubert Reeves

The words of the beloved astrophysicist were widely echoed this week, as people around the world mourned his passing. And in the face of this dystopian odyssey, his words take on the air of prophecy. The metallic siren song of modernity is chilling, reminiscent of the sinister alarms of Chernobyl. Wisps of smoke rise into the sky like signals to gigantic creatures. The buckets of the monstrous wheel dig their unwavering furrow in the earth, which yields without resistance. An orgy of destruction, of metallic domination, of technological organization.

Are we already lost?

Naomie Décarie-Daigneault
Tënk's Artistic Director
