SYNCHRONICITY 2010

In 2010, deer crossing the art farm developed a new project, Synchronicity, that built on the experience and infrastructure developed over the previous two years.  This project involved a formally produced festival that was defined by the collaborations and connections between artists from different disciplines. Along with the two-day festival, the art farm hosted a series of forums, discussions and dialogues for the wider community on the “Synchronicity” theme. A term coined by Carl Jung, Synchronicity refers to the experience of events occurring together in a meaningful way, although causally unrelated. As the mobilizing theme for the art farm’s 2010 season, “Synchronicity” is about opening our eyes to the connections that exist between us all – from the banker to the shop-keeper to the farmer to the planner to the hydro-worker to the builder to the fisherman to the artist. It’s about discovering these connections and working with them to build a healthier happier community. Between the forums, the discussions and the festival itself, the Synchronicity project allowed our regional community to discover and engage with existing partners encountering common challenges and seeking common goals.
