Quigital Corporate Retreat - Architek Percussion @ Cluster 2025

Congratulations Employee 501111! You’ve been selected for voluntary compliance training.

In this theatrical percussion performance, Quigital, Architek Percussion (Montreal), and Cluster Festival (Winnipeg) invite you to experience the future of work: faster, louder, and playfully soul crushing.

Powered by relentlessly enthusiastic algorithms, vocalist Sara Albu will guide you through product launches, loyalty tests, and passive-aggressive e-mail lounge ballads. Stay alert: compliance training is mandatory, termination is inevitable, and your cell phone can be used for real-time audience metrics.

Business casual encouraged.
If you’re on time, you’re late.

Quigital is an artist collective that explores the absurdity of corporate aesthetics and culture through interactive art. With slick, corporate visuals, innovative technological approaches, and engaging interactive components, the Quigital team puts forth a thoughtful critique of the capitalist relationship between corporations and their consumers.

Our relationship with Cluster began at Cluster 2019 as a faux corporate sponsor booth / interactive installation and interactive phone tree. Due to unprecedented times, the project re-emerged as an online installation, followed by a series of successful concert collaborations paper publications and conference presentations. We are thrilled to be returning to where it all began, and to finally be able to share the Quigital corporate polo-shirts and swag bags that have been patiently waiting for their true owner.

Quigital is a collaboration between Eliot Britton, in Montreal; Dave Arbez, in Winnipeg; Patrick Hart, in Los Angeles; and Kevin McPhillips, in Ottawa. To contact the Quigital team please e-mail: hello@quigital.com
