I did a 2 week research residency at Regina's City Hall in 2001. I asked City Hall employees about their relationships to their co-workers and the materials of their job, as well as investigated how they constructed social spaces and expressed creativity in their jobs.

I felt that people who work in cubicle situations were perhaps more in need of ideas about how to practice art in everyday life as a way of creating relationships with things and people than people in other work environments. As my mom pointed out to me, people who work in cubicles are physically alienated from their co-workers but neither do they have the privacy of being alone.

After conducting my research I developed a 36-page booklet of "interactivities" that would encourage people to use the materials of their jobs creatively, in ways that would facilitate friendly relations with co-workers. Creative Interactivities are not distractions from the tasks at hand; they are useful as well as entertaining activities.

The books were distributed to City Hall employees and sold in the MacKenzie Art Gallery gift shop. That very few people have actually carried out the interactivities outlined in the booklet is not as important as the performative aspect of the booklet to present the possibility for aesthetic interaction in the workplace.
