The alarming escalation of condo developments in Montreal has begun to gut the cultural and social infrastructure of the city. This rise in condo development seems to cater to a small niche of the population with no clear philosophy by its developers as to their impact on the neighbourhoods and the city itself. Furthermore, Montreal’s condo development had triggered a mass gentrification of low income rental and historic areas.

So what can be done about it? Though we cannot directly (physically) reclaim the spaces which have been lost to gentrification and condo-fication, we can perhaps re-appropriate the spaces through a virtual intervention via our own personal images and sounds.
