The pandemic also influenced the theme of the virtual show, which was envisioned as being set in a nondescript post-apocalyptic environment at the heart of Montreal.
The pieces were filmed inside a bunker-like space in Montreal where some of the artists have their studios and broadcast as an immersive virtual exhibition over two weeks in April and May.
Visitors to the virtual show were able to choose which camera angles to see the pieces from in a nod to 1970s sci-fi and surveillance cameras.
