Inventor, director, installer and per former, Dominic Gagnon gained recognition for his cinematic performances in various art exhibitions and festivals around the world since 1996. Gagnon conducted extensive research on the decline of economies, terrorism, violence and identity crises among adolescent boys, international adoption systems, information disorder and homelessness, fetishism in popular culture and the impact of megaentertainment on modern families. RIP in Pieces America (2009) is about the action of flagging inappropriate YouTube videos reviewed and removed by YouTube. Gagnon intervenes as a savior of flagged videos before they are deleted, edited and redistributed. His recent work Pieces and Love All to Hell in 2011 features a female version of his previous work. Gagnon edits and distributes the production of materials in a very direct and even aggressive manner to reflect the reality of YouTube.
