January 15, 2000 To whom it may concern, This letter is in reference to irational. irational has achieved a significant level of success and interntational noteriety on both individual and collective basis's. The individual members of irational seamlessly capture the essence of operating as artist, technician, critic and teacher. As a collective irational is recognized as being an important source of information and vital activity reagrding contemporary issues... Over the past three years The Banff Centre for the Arts has invited members of irational to participate in the Centre's Media and Visual Art program. These people consistently contributed to our programming at the highest level. In a number of instances, irational practice, influenced the Media and Visual Arts public programming mandate and direction at it's core.
